I'm an attorney, and frequently carry one or two briefcases to court.  When it rains, I don't have a free hand to hold an umbrella.

This hat has served me for about 7 years.  It still looks brand new, and protects me from the elements.  I really love this hat and haven't used an umbrella since I got it.

It's well made, and built to last a lifetime.  I really love this hat.
