..and I've had the real thing before.
I go running with this thing on.
there are tiny holes between the strands where sun and rain will get through, water more than sun.
the basket-like structure built in that helps it to rest on thy head fell apart after only 3 runs. had to get med-evil with some hard core epoxy to repair it. the little clip the tightens the strap under thy chin becomes loose during a run, have to re-tighten in 1-3 times for every run. the authentic ones are also not stained with some kind of stain coating on the outside.
try local Asian markets before this. if you're just sitting outside in the sun, you might get away with it.
