UPDATE:  Please also read rest of review.  I wanted to update after owning this hat for a couple years.  In hot weather I find the hat, well, hot.  Still a good hat, but too hot over 80 degrees.  I just ordered the OR men's transit sun hat, which is vented better.  I hope it is cooler.  End of update.  I am bald.  I don't wear hats much of the time.  But when outdoors for prolonged periods, I'd be foolish not to.  I like baseball caps when hiking, and stocking caps when I sleep outdoors.  This is the first wide brimmed hat I have owned.  I live in Texas now, and the sun has been hitting me hard, and it was about time I found more protection.  I ordered this thing on account of that and the reviews I found here.  Really accurate reviews.  It is a hat I may grow to love.  It does a great job of shading my neck and ears and parts of my shoulders.  It is very lightweight, and can be crumpled into a cargo pocket.  I must say, it is hot on my bald head, because it sits right on the flesh.  I adjust it up and it can maintain a bit of space.  It fits well, just transfers heat pretty directly.  The venting is really not as much as I'd like in this 90 to 105degree weather... but I think they drew a thin line, trying to afford rain, or colder weather, protection as well...?  The price is really fair, and most of all, my sweetheart loves it on me... so there you go... send a dozen more.  It's going to Yellowstone in a couple months... along with a baseball cap and stocking hat.  Bald guys need hats.  Oh yeah, a bandanna in my pocket as well.
