Protection - Fjallraven Abisko Summer Hat - Review

Here is something that you don't see every day on Youtube;
the Fjallraven Abisko Summer Hat and it is time for my review!



Link : https://www.amazon.com/Fjallraven-Mens-Abisko-Summer-Hat/dp/B00IKQ5N08

Price : $50

Weight : 3oz for small size

Sizes : S- XL

Colors : Grey, Olive and Tan

Developed and tested during Lapland's Arctic summer, Fjallraven made the Abisko Summer Hat to shield the always-present sun from cooking your brain like an over-easy egg. The hat's wide brim folds onto the sides of the hat for less flapping when you're hiking, and an adjustable chinstrap secures it to your head. G-1000 Lite fabric isn't too heavy and allows excess sweat to evaporate. A UPF 40 rating ensures your dome won't burn when subjected to intense sunshine.

·       G-1000 Lite (65% polyester, 35% cotton) fabric
·       Wide brim can be folded and attached to sides with buttons
·       Adjustable chinstrap with cordlock
·       UPF 40

Note : Forget looking this hat up on the US Fjallraven website; to be honest, I have often found the site to be very poor and it can be hard to locate information on products.  For an example, the Abisko hat can’t be located on their site even though the hat came direction from their distribution here in the states.  I had this ordered locally

Note 2 : This is not the Fjallraven Hatfield Hat

Review :

Pros :
Wide Enough to offer excellent protection
Stiff Brim; not floppy.
Continues to wear well even when wet; not waterproof at all but does keep the rain out of your eyes.  You could wax it but if you wax it you lose out on the breathable properties of the G1000
Breathable.
Excellent quality
Strong; the snaps have held up well and Im constantly adjusting this hat based on the changing conditions that we have here in the mountains.


Cons :
The low cut nature of this hat means that it isn’t going to be compatible with all sunglasses.  Depending on the design, it may lift your sunglasses up because the hat is pressing down on the arms.

Material 'holds' dirt!

It is time to review the 5.11 Aurora Shell,
is it an awesome waterproof jacket or are their seriously problems?

Find out now!



Link : https://www.511tactical.com/aurora-shell-jacket.html

Price : $150
Colors : Black, Brown, Green and Blue

Size : XS – 3XL

From 5.11 : "For some of us, being outside is mandatory, no matter what the forecast shows. Whether it's a hike, a hunt or a long walk on your favorite path, the Aurora Shell Jacket is a great choice. It's 15K/15K water resistant and breathable, so you stay drier, longer, even when those gray clouds turn into a good shower. The underarm zippers give you extra venting, and articulated sleeves and shoulders free up your arm motion for those inclines. And because you're never without your phone, podcasts or music, internal media ports help keep cords out of your way. Trek on."

Breathable
Fully seam sealed

Articulated sleeves and shoulders
Left chest zipper pocket with internal media ports for cord management

Hand zip pockets with internal RapiDraw™ pass through access

Adjustable hem with shock cord system

Regular Fit

2.5L 100% Nylon Plain Weave Face with Coffee Print Backer, DWR


Pros :

Looks terrific.

Comfortable

Excellent quality

Nice feature set

Very breathable – excellent in this regards.

Makes a good shell for wind, light rain, dry snow.

It works well as a wind-shell especially when combined with a quality insulating mid layer, and its breathable and has pit vents for when its a little warmer and you want to stay dry. The waterproofing is good for light rain and will repel water nicely to a certain point, but if its really down pouring and you expect to spend a lot of time in the rain, you may want to treat it with a hydrophobic product.


Good visor

Easy access to your front carry concealed firearm – While I like this feature, how compatible it will be with your carry system will depend on your training, layers, and the size of your firearm.
