A popular style hat for wearing while camping. The wide brim keeps sun, snow and rain off of the wearer. The large size ran a little too big for my head, but I was able to solve that by sewing elastic in the inside of the sweat band only on the rear half of the sweat band. I plan to sew some added material inside the front of the sweat band to make hat fit my head a little tighter without being too tight. I ordered the large because was not sure if the medium would fit. Didn't want it too tight. I have received many compliments on my hat and have had others take order information to order their own.
