I bought one of these hats almost two years ago when the color/pattern choices for women were next to none.  I  really liked the hat for the sun protection and the fit. I bought it for use in the pool after losing hats to the wind/water. I can float around on a float and when I get hot, just roll off into the water and the hat stays on. I even swim with it on.  Sadly, I left it outside at the end of last season and I guess a packrat or some other animal liked it and it disappeared.  I am an adult woman and bought size large. I am now purchasing another in a size large and hope it will fit the same.
