It's a nice hat, a bit stiff and not moldable at all. I purchased this for a 5 day desert river trip and it did not make the car ride very well. By the end of the trip it was so out of shape and unable to be bent back, I just threw it in the dumpster at the take out. Very disappointed by that, but if you were never going to potentially crush it, then it would be a fine hat. I'm just too active for it.
