This visor is just what I needed to walk miles while touring Spain in the hot sun of summer. It provided shade over my eyes while allowing air to flow through my hair. (I perspire way too much under straw hats.) It did start to feel too tight after awhile, but I adjusted it higher on my head or took it off for awhile. I've hand-washed it and it still looks great after drying. All in all, I'm glad I purchased this.
