The hat fits perfectly and is very comfortable. It gives me max face protection and neck. The fabric is great and very durable.

I've had 2 of these. They are durable and provide good sun protection. The chin strap keeps them secure. However, I find them uncomfortable to wear when temperatures are over about 80F and the air is humid. They quickly become sweat-stained. If you have a small head, not much hair, aren't too active, and don't live in a hot, muggy climate, they might work better for you. Otherwise, maybe consider a natural fiber such as palm straw instead of nylon/polyester.

Sturdy, well-made hat. Wish I had bought the tan, rather than the very light colored cream. Wish the air-flow mesh at the top of the crown passed air more easily, but glad to have any ventilation. Looks good, I get compliments. Haven't had to test the floatability yet, but that's a nice feature for folks who use the hat on the water.

Lightweight and broader brim make for excellent head wear outside anywhere. The chinstrap is a necessity windy days!
