I received this hat recently as a gift and like it.  It's made of a nice water resistant material that will take a beating of wind and salt water and still manage not to shrivel up and die.  It's much bigger than I imagined it would be, the surrounding brim being quite long.  But you get used to it quite quickly and the protection you will get from the sun and comfort will more than make up for any smart alecky comments you may receive.  A draw string in the back with a push button lock on it either loosens or tightens the reins around the hat to make it fit to your liking and works very well.  About the only thing I feel I should mention about this hat is that it is not as heavy or as solid a material that it appears to be in the picture.  While my old fishing hat was made of mostly cotton or some other softer fabric, this hat is all polyester, making it very light and thin, and thus doesn't look all that handsome when wearing it since it never seems to really stand up and hold its shape very well.  It's being thin and light is not exactly a bad thing of course considering that its a hat designed for protection from the sun while fishing, or doing any other hot weather activity.  I just thought I should mention it lest someone assumes or favors a heavier more attractive fabric.  For what it is, it's an excellent hat that protects your head and neck from the suns wrath, is quality made, and comes at a very fair price here on Amazon.  Recommended...
