Needed a hat for when I work in the yard and this one seemed to fit the bill based on the product description.  I love the tie to keep the hat on my head as it gets windy where I live.  The neck cover is great so I don't have to try and wear a scarf to cover my neck anymore.  The only problem is that I have a very small head (I only wear a 6 3/4 to a 6 7/8 western hat depending on the maker) and hoped that I could adjust this hat to fit.  No such luck.  It is loose on my head and if I don't use the tie under my chin, the hat would just blow away when I work.  Material is nice and I love the mesh venting.  I have not washed yet, but as the weather gets warmer and I sweat more, I will wash and hope to be able to let you know how that goes.
