I live in an area of the country that rains 5 months a year. The hat does as stated and is rainproof. The brim is large enough to keep the rain from your neck. The company backs it's construction for life, very cool. The only bone to pick is the fact that is you are a person like me and give off a lot of heat and moisture, the material does not perform as well as stated. Very small fact as comparred to the quality of the hat.
