This is a very durable hat. I have worn it hiking for a week in Montana, gardening, at the beach constantly, and several times in the pool. It doesn't fade, it doesn't lose shape, it doesn't stain. It stays on your head and doesn't slip, even when standing on top of a very windy mountain. It it lightweight and cool, and keeps sweat from dripping on my face from my hairline. It is my go to outdoor hat now. I liked it so much I bought one for my husband and daughter also.See full review
