Love this hat! Living in Florida, Sun is brutal.  Got it in after reading all the reviews- yes, it's more than most comparable hats, but the details here, make it worth it for anyone who is serious about sun protection, function and comfort. I'm outdoors whenever possible, doing yard work, beach, lake, boating, pool , stand up paddle boarding, fishing, hiking etc really need the protection/functionality this hat provides. I went with the Seahawk model because it's a good all around mid-width coverage. It's very light, but the brim is firm in the front, which keeps it from flopping down when wet or in wind. Neck lanyard is removable and there's a nice hidden pocket inside that w velcro to hold cash/ or something small. It looks good too. When in doubt, go with a size up and you can adjust the fit to tighter if necessary. Dries quickly, and floats. Highly ventilated and "breathes". Highly recommend.
