Bought in white for summer hiking in southern Utah. Having debuted it in Zion yesterday, I can say it was a great choice. I was not aware of feeling extra sweat under it while out, and the brim did not interfere at all with my field of vision. Packs perfectly. It also looks pretty good--I will be comfortable in it for casual wear in civilization. And I say that as a person who tends toward high heels and does not wear athletic clothing or active wear of any kind outside of actually doing active sports.
