I purchased this hat with the intention of having it as a workout hat and one to wear in the pool over the summer, and it worked perfectly. Hat floats, was easy to wash, worked exactly as advertised, until after a few washes the material was no longer shedding water like it had when it was new.I reached out to their customer service, send them a quick video showing the hat instantly absorbing water, and within a couple days they were shipping me a new hat to replace the one I currently have.See full review
