This hat is really great. I had a Tilley hat that didn't breathe and was falling apart after a week of use. I am in Afghanistan so it is dusty, hot and I am sweaty. I thought an expensive hat made for that environment would be sufficient. It wasn't. So, I returned the Tilley and bought this one. I LOVE it! It fits, it breathes and it has this nice sweat band inside. It also ties on when it gets really windy out. Very happy with it.
