Have to say that I'm really pleased with this hat! Been wearing it since mid November. Love the ear flaps on cold mornings. The built in strap to go under chin from one ear flap to the other is a bit awkward. Logically the velcro on the end would attach to the outside of the other ear flap, but it comes loose very easily. It holds better if attached to the inside of the opposite flap. It also has a tendency to migrate down when it's supposed to be in the hide-away pocket in the top of the hat's crown. Annoying when I'm driving and it begins to slip down and hit the side of my glasses frame and temple. I need to put in some time and develop a way to prevent this.

The hat and brim are holding their shape well. The warmth is superb here on those 20 degree F or colder mornings we can get here. The brim width is perfect for keeping sun off the ears and back of neck for those of us with basal cell tendencies. And if I remember correctly, Tilley provides a lifetime warranty. I'm very glad that I got this hat!
