This is a really comfortable hat.  I wear it when Im out on the water to keep the sun off of my head and keep my from frying.  It breathes really well which is surprising for such a thick material.  It does have wire in the brim so you can make it look many different ways.  My wife says it looks like an Indiana Jones hat.  I guess its close but not quite.  I have received many compliments on this hat from everyone who sees it.
