This is the best hat that I've ever owned. I'm not really a hat person, but since I'm bald and have to protect my head from the sun, I have to wear something. This hat has become my go to hat. I keep it in the car for all our family adventures. If there is full sun, then this is on my head. I've had my current hat for about five years and the band is starting to separate. I decided to leave a review since I'm in the market to purchase my second one.
