My 19 year old son picked this hat of the two that I had purchased to help him have protection from our Florida sun while he works his job doing lawn care. It both works great to protect him from sunburn on his head and neck and looks good enough to a guy who cares about his looks so he's continued to use it for the past 6 months since I bought it. It's been holding up well to the dirt and sweat and weekly washings in the washing machine and it still looks good. A smart purchase.
