Annoying

There are two big flaws in this hat. The first is the root problem of the other flaw, the materials are completely flimsy. The hat doesn't hold a shape at all, if you stuff it in your pack you will be fighting with it to return it to a usable shape. The brim has a magnet in it that snaps to the base so you can run around with the sides of the hat up for some inexplicable reason. The problem is if there is ever a slight breeze it blows that flimsy material up and SNAP! you are walking around with one half of your hat up. If you pull it down SNAP! again. Eventually you just get sick of messing with it and resign yourself to thinking about how much your ear is getting burned and wondering how big of a tool others think you are. I don't expect a light weight hat to be completely rigid in the wind, but violently snapping into a completely useless position is just not what I'm looking for.
