This is a uni-sex hat. They label the large size as men's and the medium and small sizes as women's but they are really the same hat.

I'm a professional, well dressed, 50-something guy and travel to Europe and South America a lot for business and pleasure. I needed a rain and sun hat for occasional city use. Also, I needed something that was light weight, packs easily and was fashionable.

Most crushable hats are horribly ugly "bush whacker" types. This was much, much better. It is black has minimal ugly logos and is passable. I removed the tacky chin drawstring and improved its looks 100%.

Compared with the competition it is "five stars"; however, it is not really exqusite either. Think of it as a substitute for an urban, black umbrella.

I do recommend this to family and friends.
