I'll be honest, this isn't a style of hat that I would have generally purchased but I got it on a whim because I've been more and more worried about sun exposure and the damage it can do to my skin. My absolute favorite thing about it is that it's a lot more like a visor than a hat. It actually wraps around the back of the head and secures with velcro underneath my bun or pony tail which is absolutely incredible because I have very long, thick hair and it's can be a real pain either having to braid it or leave it down if I want to wear any hats. This is the best of both worlds! It arrived rolled up in a little twist with a built in rubber band around it and I do like that because it would make it very easy for packing into a suitcase. It also came with a think drawstring style optional neck strap which is a nice addition. The hat is very well constructed and seems quality, it didn't have any loose seams or stitching and it definitely seems like it will hold up well. For around $10 I was really surprised at how nice it was. It is very cool that you can use the wire inside the rim of the brim of the hat to change it to any shape you want. So you can make it flair up off of your face, turn it completely down towards your face, flip one side up and one side down for a "country club lady" style...haha...really there are a lot of options and it's really fun! Unfortunately I'm giving it four stars instead of five because it's actually really tricky to get the wire inside the brim shaped back how it should be after it's been rolled up and, while I don't really know how they would get around that with this style, it's a little annoying to have to push and pull it every which way to get it back into shape without any kinks in the wire.
All in all I'm very happy with it and I'll definitely wear it to the rvier, sporting events, concerts, etc and even gardening where I'll be in the sun for long periods.
