I bought this hat to wear when my husband and I go fishing. I also wear it when I cut the grass or just am outside in the sun. I burn very easily and I needed more protection than my little sun visor was giving me. I like that this one can be used as a hat or the top can be zipped off and it can be turned into a sun visor. The brim is 4 inches wide and really protects from the sun. The material allows it to breathe. The velcro in the back lets you adjust it to your head size. I love this sun hat and would definitely recommend it.
