Tried one on at the Bass Pro Shop. I am a big hat guy and do not know why I didn't buy it when I had the opportunity. I believe the wife was rushing me. However, I found it now and can only tell you that it was beyond comfortable when I had tried it. To the point it was surprising. I only gave the hat 4 stars because I have no idea how it would be in the "field." I will be using it for kayaking.
