Awesome golf hat
Awesome lightweight hat that is perfect for golf on hot, sunny days. And is very stylish.

Love the Hat, but order larger than you normally wear
I do love this hat - have bought probably 6 of them in the last ~10yrs (or so). Replace when they understandably get too grubby. As others have suggested, the sizing seems to have shrunk a bit. While I bought the same size as I've bought all along, in the last ~ 2yrs the sizes seem to have shrunk. Next time (and there will be a next time) I'll be reviewing what folks write looking to see if a larger one is warranted still.In the past this hat has worked wonderfully for me, keeping me cool and comfortable with no sign of sun exposure to my head. It seems to almost collect breezes, and almost feels cooler wearing it than not (for instance, in the shade). This new hat seems stiffer than older ones, and like that as well! Had to retie the strap to be a bit longer, but otherwise a great hat.

Airy and adequate shade
First of all, this (XL) hat fits my 7 3/8 head and not too small or large. It could probably fit a 7 1/2 head without being too tight unless there is a size difference between hats of the same XL designation.Second, I was a little disappointed as the whole hat has a "plastic" feeling and a little stiff, but knowing the price of real (felt/cloth/leather) hats versus this one, it is acceptable.Third and most importantly, I was looking for a hat to replace my caps for when grass cutting and doing yard work. The brim is nice and big. It does an excellent job for me in keeping the sun out of my eyes and off of my neck from the mid-morning, mid-day and mid-afternoon sun. That was my primary purpose in ordering this hat. And the size was just right. With these two criteria met, I can gladly accept the other plastic and stiff material.It looks nice too.

Ugly and twisted out of the bag. Still ugly.
Delivered in a bag scrunched into an ugly shape. I needed a shade hat immediately so I used it out of the bag all day hoping to reshape it. Despite numerous efforts, it’s still ugly. Super thin and cheap and a bit too large. Should’ve known.

Worth every penny
I've had 2 of these hats, the first one my dogs destroyed and I tried other cheaper hats before ordering a second one. I should have just ordered a second one right away.Pros:LightweightVery good air flowlooks gooddurable (as long as your resident pack of dogs doesn't use it as a chew toy)Wire rim brim that can be flexed and shaped any which way you likeCons:Doesn't come in more colors (I really want a more olive drab or camo)If the rim is crushed really badly it takes a lot of work to get it back in shape, BUT it is possible so that's a mild conI'm a 7-5/8 in BDU cap and the XL fits *slightly* loosely, which is what I consider perfect. Tight enough it doesn't fall off, loose enough it doesn't leave a band mark on your forehead.

Didn't work for me
This hat looks great in the ad and I decided it should be just the ticket for what I wanted: a sun hat with a full 3” brim, a fully ventilated crown and cool style. I’m not super style conscious in general but oddly particular that a hat looks good, LOL. I mean, if I buy a boonie hat, well it’s functional, but I wanted functionally cool! Is that too much to ask?? This hat did not meet my expectations in three ways: size, material and brim form. All of these have been mentioned in other reviews before me.First, it is super light weight and I like the look and colors. Mine came very well packed in an appropriate hat box, although it could have been ½” bigger in both directions to be even better.Size: I have a big head. Like, ginormous. It measures at 7 5/8 or 7 3/4 long oval. There’s something peculiar about my oval melon though, which I know from buying motorcycle helmets; my forehead is prominently vertical, creating something of a corner between it and the top of my head. Think male sperm whale. (My bride assures me you can’t tell by looking at me, but the hat don’t lie.) I most often land on XXL with hats and helmets. I bought the largest size, XXL, but it was still too small. I don’t exactly blame this on the manufacturer, but the XXL is supposed to go bigger than my head. It may not be that the hat band is too small, but the crown is too conical, meaning as I push it down on my head it engages the forehead in an unpleasant way. This style point is apparent in the pics, also with Dorfman’s other sun hats.Material: They advertise the Supplex nylon as being soft and cotton-like, but more durable. The entire hat is stiff and plasciky. The brim feels weird...I mean, it’s flexible, not like board-stiff, but the material crinkles and snaps. Not soft. The crown screen material is also kinda stiff and as aforementioned, plasciky. It holds its form, but I doubt it would survive too many flat packings as I think it would crack.Form: The crown is fine. The brim, however, has permanent, random potato chippy waves. You know how the guy in the pic in the ad looks all cool with the front and back low, and a nice bend in between? Not so, this one, just like some of the other pics folks have posted. To me, that’s the single biggest factor in how a hat looks on a head. And I don’t think it was the packing, that was great, although the box was just a bit cramped in length and width which I supposed over time may have caused the brim to stick in its odd position. Maybe this happens more with the bigger sizes ‘cuz they don’t fit as well? I dunno, this odd shaping, I don’t have the sense it is box-induced. It just seems permanently baked in. Either way, it’s stuck that way now.So it’s going back. Bummer. But then I discovered this hat, which is great and I will review:Sunday Afternoons Charter Breeze Hathttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W72BC43?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Could not be happier
This hat arrived yesterday the 30th, ordered on the 26th. I'm extremely happy with this hat. I have a pretty large melon (~63cm). I ordered the XL size and it is a perfect fit. Just snug enough to keep a stiff wind from blowing it off my head and applies equal pressure all around. My last hat was too small in the front/back and was stiff and card-boardy feeling in the band. This band is more clothey feeling (I'm inventing new words as I go here LOL) This hat is super light weight and worlds more comfortable than my old one. For anyone curious, my old has was just some no-name thing I picked up at a truck-stop.Fishing, golfing or any time you want to keep the sun off of your face/ears/neck this had does it well, while keeping your head cool by letting the breeze in.

My husband is really pleased with his XXL hat's fit and stability when he clinches the chin strap behind his head. He wears it all the time when working and finds it cooler than no hat!

buen producto, pésimo envío
el sombre en si está muy bien, pero llegó completamnete aplastado. y eso que venia en una bolsa dentro de una caja. es imposible darle forma. lo tendré que devolver. el lado positivo es que esto demuestra que el sombrero no es "empacable" en una maleta
