The fit is fantastic (even for us melon-headed guys). The hat is so light and comfortable it is one of very few hats that I don't mind wearing for hours and hours at a time, no discomfort. There is plenty of mesh ventilation so no issues with trapped heat or my head feeling hot. I bought two hats (different colors) and can not rate them highly enough. I wore these hats all spring during my son's baseball season. I wear these on vacation in the Caribbean. The draw string can be cinched up and out of the way, or worn around your chin for windy rides on the catamaran or boat trips. Or you can use the draw string to "roll up" the sides in a cowboy hat style if the sun isn't too bright.
