Husband wanted a hat that would keep rain off of his ears and he decided on this hat.  Suits his needs but reminds me of Bill Murray in the movie Caddyshack.  It is well made but the sizing was a bit difficult to figure out.  We measured his head and then ordered a size larger after reading several of the reviews.  The fit is roomy, not tight by any means but I don't think he could have taken a smaller size.
