I spend a lot of time outdoors and need a good hat that will not only protect my head from the sun, but also my face, ears and neck as well. This hat is perfect - it fits well. It sheds the wind really well - I've never had it blow off my head and best of all it does all that while providing the best protection I've ever had from the sun. Lifeguards spend all day on the beach and this really is designed for people who need to be outside and don't want to get blasted by the sun. It also works well on rainy and foggy days, although I wouldn't wear it during heavy rain.

People are always asking me where I got the hat because they want to buy one for themselves. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and would buy it again.
