I was looking for good shade, durability, and a quick-drying property. I got all those and more. Someone has done a lot of good design thinking about what is needed in a hat when you're out on the water. The wide brim provides lots of shade, the material is quick-drying and crush-resistant. The mesh and cut of the cap part of the hat provide ventilation. The neck strap has a sensible clasp and keeps the hat on in a very stiff breeze or traveling fast over the water on a jet ski. I felt that I was paying a bit too much sight unseen, but I got more than I expected and will seek out this brand again when I need a new hat. I will use it on the water and for hiking because of its light weight, as well as on the beach.

I love this hat. I wore it on a 50 mile MS Challenge Walk and it kept the sun and sweat off of my face. The only problem I ran into was if I was walking into any type of breeze the front brim would flip up. I can't imagine wearing this hat on a boat going faster than a couple of MPH and not having to hold the brim down.

I bought this hat before a trip to Tasmania, where I was going to be doing a fair amount of hiking and other outdoor activities - and I'm glad I did! It's comfortable and doesn't overheat your head (important, during the Aussie summer) and it's easy to tuck the strap behind your ears to keep it out of the way of your face. It protected my face, neck and most of my shoulders from the weather, whether it was hot and sunny or pouring rain. I got caught in a downpour while hiking and the rain just rolled right off, keeping my vision clear. (As an added bonus, the hat was dry within an hour of when I got in out of the storm, despite being closed in a damp car.) If the wind really picks up, it does have a tendency to want to fly off, but that's going to be the case with any lightweight hat - and that's what the strap is for.
