“Bought this for a tour of National Parks in the West and it lived up to the hype! It got crushed in a carry- on, roll-on., and vehicle seat pocket. I wore it every day and felt wonderful and chic. Store owner who sold hats complimented my hat —said they were her best sellers! It rained. No problem. Stayed on in the wind! Perfect to shield my face from sun during touring . I’ll probably buy another in black. ( Because when something is that great you get multiples -lol). Also , a return was effortless. First one was too large.” Lynn
