Very light weight.  Super comfortable. I don't plan on taking the top off to convert to a visor- sun sensitive here.  The color is great too.  It is very light, so you'll need to hold your hat in strong breezy conditions.  I really like the hat, it goes with my outfits nicely, and is a stylish upgrade from baseball caps when I'm at the playground or on a field trip.  Lastly, the coverage over my face and ears is excellent!  Great value for the price!!
