Very happy with purchase. Yes, it has a wider brim than standard baseball cap - what I wanted for sun protection. Some think the wider brim looks dorky, but I'm ok with the tradeoff of great skin. The material has a sheen, like that of "windbreaker" jackets or a coat lining, and that's fine with me too; some reviewers find it "cheap" looking. Again, that's a matter of opinion and expectations; no, it's not cotton or denim-y, but I knew what to expect from reading other reviews. ISee full review
