I think the padding around the head piece it too thick. It is kind of misshapen as well; the brim points down instead of out. My head is pretty big, so the Velcro pieces don't meet all the way which causes extra velcrow to hang off and get tangled in my hair. I'm a picky hat person, so I have super high expectations for anything that goes on my head. I ended up sending it back and ordered from the "GLOVE IT" brand. Their design seems firm and there is an adjustable fit with no Velcro!
