I got this hat to wear on my hikes. It is lightweight and very comfortable. The fairly rigid wide brim helps shield both my face and neck from the sun. The hat looks nothing like how it appears in the picture on the product page. It actually has a khaki/greenish color and the crown and brim are of the same color. The mesh has an off-white/light beige color, which coordinates very well with the khaki color. I was pleasantly surprised to find this a very nice-looking hat!

Features:

- Adjustable Chin Strap
Adjustable draw cord allows you to easily adjust the length of the chin strap.

- Adjustable Hat Size
A draw cord at the base of the crown adjusts the hat size.

- S, M, L Sizes
The large is a snug fit for my head, which measures 23" (58.5 cm). If your head is larger, I'd recommend the next size up.

- Terry Cotton Sweat Band
The terry cotton sweat band on the underside of the hat helps keep your head dry and comfortable.

- Breathable
The size of the crown is made with breathable mesh, so your head won't feel stuffy. The light (off-white) color helps reflect heat.

- Wide Brim
The brim, which is just under 3", helps to shade my face and neck from the sun. The tag on the hat says the hat has an UPF 50. UPF is UV Rays Protection Factor, a sun protection specification for clothing analogous to SPF (Sun Protection Factor) for sunscreen.

- Waterproof
While I trying to spot-clean this hat under running tap water, I noticed that the water just beaded off the hat. The hat, except the mesh portion, is actually waterproof!

- Easy-To-Clean
Dirt on the hat washes off very easily (the hat also seems to have been treated with Scotchguard).

The Dorfman Pacific not only looks good, it is functional and very comfortable. The mesh design, which sets it apart from other hats, helps to keep your head well-ventilated. Highly recommended.
