Review:
Bought this hat a few years ago when I was looking for some sun protection that also provides shade over the ears and the neck. The hat is very comfortable, adjustable and you won't even feel wearing it all day. Quite often I would wash it out at a water source at the end of a day's hike and due to the light fabric the hat dries out quickly. One thing I like in particular is that the hat can be folded down very small and packed away easily.
Pros:
- Light-weight material
- Easy to wash out and dries fast
- Foldable to a small size for easy pack-away
- Good in hot conditions due to thin and light fabric
Cons:
Only negative would be that the brim doesn't keep its proper shape after you have folded the hat away in your pack for a while. But I guess thats normal if you want a hat that can be folded...
Comment:
Many manufacturers sell these types of hats, so you don't necessarily need to buy it from a particular brand as long as it has the same fabric and comfort features.
