I wanted a sun hat with a wide floppy brim, and this one has it.  I wear a hat every day when we take a walk, and in the hot weather, it needs to be cool, light and keep the sun off. This hat is all of that.  It is more of a natural raffia color than the photo here - a little lighter in color.  Even though the hat is crushable, it goes right back to the original shape.  The paper fiber is lighter in weight than a straw hat.  I like this hat very much.
