Great vacation hat!
The hat maintained its shape while traveling in Italy. The brim protected my face and neck from the sun. It was very comfortable to wear.

Trust your Instinct
I purchased this hat for a trip that would require style and protection. I was hesitant to pack it in my suitcase. Followed the instructions and the hat held its shape. Fashionable, stylish and will last forever.

Nice!
Very nice hat, but the crown was too tall for me, so I did return it. I do have a large selection of hats that have an adjustable band on the inside, which makes that small adjustment quite comfortable. Just something I should consider.
