I really like this hat. The material is heavy and waterproof, and looks nicely worn, like I've owned it for 20 years. (Don't tell the folks at Big Head Caps, but now that I have it in hand, I would have paid $20 more for it :^)
The brim is wide, so a good sun hat. However, the brim can't really be reshaped -- the wire inside it has a "memory." That means you can compress it into a suitcase without it going out of shape (as long as you don't over-bend the wire, which is possible.)
I really like changing the shape of my hats frequently, so I will probably end up replacing the wire with a bendable wire, but if you like the keep your hats in the same shape, then this is perfect as-is.
Size notice -- I wear a 7-7/8 hat, and this 2XL was a little too big, believe it or not. I ended up putting some 1/4-inch hat foam under the elastic inside the brim, and now it fits perfectly.
Did you find this helpful?
