When I viewed these hats initially on amazon, I told myself no way that hat looks like it could be rated 5 stars by all of those reviewers.  I searched and searched online looking for a good video of somebody wearing it, and I never found one :( So, I got even more frustrated, and just decided to buy it and hope for the best. When it arrived, I didn't even open it until I could deal with a possible disappointment.  Well, I opened it and I hesitated to try it on, and lo and behold it looked just fantastic on me.  I had purchased a hat a week prior from Target but I just wasn't happy with after trying on so many hats I settle for the best of all of them.  I can report I returned the Target hat, and I'm KEEPING this one!  There's just so many ways to wear this hat.  And it actually shields out the sun all around. I purchased the desert color one and it reflects the same color as the product description shows.  I purchased that color to sort of camouflage any makeup transfer until I'm  able to spot clean it. I'll be wearing this while in Europe this summer.  Can't wait!  I think I'm going to purchase another one in denim and black. I also noticed that some other websites carry additional  colors too :)
