I bought this for the summer and sunny days to come, and because its a straw hat it keeps my head both ventilated and shaded :)
The only negative thing is that the wire keeping its form is kinda easy to bend, and if youre unlucky you can cause some major deformation to it.. but hey, its easy to fix
maybe change the steel wire with something more flexibility? Carbon fiber maybe.
All in all this is a great hat, and you get a lot for your twenty five bucks
