I bought this hat because my husband kept borrowing mine so much that I wasn't getting to wear it! So I bought him his own for Father's Day: now we're both happy! It's a great hat - keeps off the rain when it's raining; keeps off the sun when it's sunny. Lightweight, it scrunches up fairly small, and unfurls back into shape looking like it hasn't just spent the day mashed up in the top pocket of my rucksack. Whilst it fits my head really well, the cord has been useful when I needed to keep the hat from blowing off in high winds.
