I like the hat as it has no wire brim.  Wires tend to get bent wrong and then you get stuck trying to unscrew it.  This brim is layered and has some body to it.  Nicely assembled.  I cut some foam for the inside sweatband and snugged it up.  For rainy crappy weather its exactly what you need.  Have not used it yet in the heat but seems to be like the boonie hats I wore in the USAF.  Just a better brim.  Wiped it down with the oil cloth dressing for better water proofing.  Baked it about 10 minutes at 300 on a foil sheet to get it into the hat.  If it sticks together in one piece for a while and doesn't sweat me out it is a five star for sure.
