“My old favorite hat similar to this got stolen several years ago. I've looked for a replacement (the original was *years* old and no longer made) but this is the first hat that looks as good on as that one did. The pluses of the permethrin and sun protection make it my preferred hat now. (I have another, lighter hat from a different manufacturer that's okay, but it doesn't have the good looks of this one.)
The nice stiffener around the edge of the hat brim is what makes this one work.”
“I wanted to love this hat, but I can't. Pros; price, insect blocking ability. Cons; overall appearance, not machine washable, metal ventilation vents rusting. Who puts ferrous rivets in a hat? Everything is sturdily made, but other hats have better style and materials, albeit at a higher price point”
