Our Verdict

A light and malleable sun hat, that has a nice wide brim that keeps the sun out of your eyes, and keeps your head in the shade. The vent in the crown helps promote good air flow, which helps keep you comfortable when you are working hard in warm climates. The draw cord is simple to use, and has a secure fastening.
