46 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A structured cap like the Koloa Surf Richardson 112 trades the wide brim coverage of a sun hat for a more compact, everyday fit, and at $19.99 it sits between the $16.99 and $8.99 budget hats and the $75 premium option in this comparison. At 0.3 pounds it is a light, low profile piece of headwear.
Its 4.5 star rating across 46 reviews puts it slightly below the 4.6 to 4.8 star scores of the other hats here, though the gap is small. The bigger difference is review volume, 46 reviews is a fraction of the 1,879 to 10,800 reviews backing the other options in this set, which means there is less data to lean on when judging consistency.
Bought last month sits at 100+, matching the Sunday VCHLCS hat's demand level but trailing the ZOORON, Camptrace, and Home hats by a wide margin. The cotton blend material and white, Columbia blue, and yellow colorway give it a distinct look among mostly neutral toned competitors. For buyers who want a classic patch logo cap rather than a wide brim sun hat, and who are fine with a thinner review history, it is a reasonable middle of the road choice on price and rating.

Performance notes
At 0.3 pounds, this cap is light enough to wear for hours without adding noticeable weight or strain, a real consideration for anyone on the water from morning to evening. The cotton blend material balances breathability with some structure, which helps a patch logo cap hold its shape better than a pure cotton or all mesh design would. Its white, Columbia blue, and yellow color combination is louder than the mostly gray, black, and beige tones found on the other hats in this comparison, which may suit buyers who want their gear to stand out rather than blend in. As a structured cap rather than a wide brim design, it covers the top of the head and provides a bit of shade over the eyes, but it does not offer the neck and ear coverage that a wide brim sun hat provides, a tradeoff worth weighing against how much direct sun exposure a given fishing trip involves.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star rating across 46 reviews is respectable but sits at the lower end of this comparison, where other hats range from 4.4 to 4.8 stars. With only 46 reviews, the sample is small enough that a few negative experiences could move the average more than they would on a listing with thousands of reviews. The 100+ bought last month figure matches the premium priced Sunday hat but trails every other option in this set, suggesting a smaller and more niche buyer base. Read together, the pattern points to a cap that satisfies the people who buy it without yet building the review volume or purchase scale of the more established hats in this comparison.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Koloa Surf Richardson 112 cap weigh?
It weighs 0.3 pounds, making it a lightweight option compared to bulkier wide brim sun hats. That low weight helps it stay comfortable during long stretches of wear. For anglers who move around a boat or hike to a fishing spot, that reduced weight can make a noticeable difference by the end of the day.
Is the Koloa Surf Richardson 112 cap well reviewed?
It holds a 4.5 star rating across 46 reviews. That score is slightly below others in this comparison, but the review count is also much smaller, so there is less data behind the average. As more buyers weigh in, that average could shift, though the existing feedback remains solidly positive.
How does demand for this cap compare to other fishing hats?
Bought last month sits at 100+, the same level as the $75 Sunday VCHLCS hat but well below the 800+ to 5,000+ range seen on the Bebila, Camptrace, and Home hats in this comparison. That puts it among the lower volume sellers in this set, though its rating shows the buyers it has stayed satisfied.
