It is funny how sometimes the best hat is the hat you actually have on you! That is what the best selling point of this hat is since you can roll it up and throw it into any bag or purse. My wife loves this hat and takes it everywhere. It also looks quite fashionable but now whenever we are out in the sun she just takes it out. The only downside to the hat is that there is no string for putting under your chin so wind easily blows this hat off. That is a minor inconvenience considering you can take this hat anywhere and it provides such great sun protection!
