Covers all of my face, ears, and neck. I have a big head and this fits well, not to tight, but you can still adjust it. The brim is sturdy and large, but can be folded up to store and will hold its shape. I'm an HVAC tech and work up on the roofs a lot and this hat, has held up nicely with all the wear and tear of the job. Bought another one, because my original one started to "thin" on the top after so many washes. But its still ok after 4 years of abuse.
