I bought this hat to protect my scalp and face from the intense sun in Kenya for five weeks, and it worked great. There is a band around the head that can tighten if the circumference is a little big for your head. The quality is great, and it's completely flexible so you can stuff it in your bag or luggage no problem. I would definitely recommend this product if you are going somewhere with intense sun or even if you just need a gardening hat!
