This hat is exactly what I was looking for and exactly what I thought I was going to get.  It's huge, it stays on my head in all but strong wind, and it packs really well.  I rolled it up and stuffed it in my beach bag a few times, and I packed it in a soft-sided suitcase for a flight.  It still looks like new.  It's malleable enough to shape into whatever shape you want (straight brim, covering one eye, flat on the sides, etc.), and it will stay there without being stiff.  I would buy it again.
