The fit of the hat and the sturdiness are to be admired. It's comfortable and fits even my big old head. HOWEVER, and this is important, I wear it and STILL get sunburned on my FACE (forehead, nose, cheeks, you name it) on areas that are SUPPOSED to be covered because it lets in specks of light through the weave and I get this awful looking speckled sunburn. Not good for my fair skin!
