Great Hat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Glad I purchased it. Have used it during my last 3 long runs, 12/14/16 miles. Great ventilation. Super happy with this purchase.

Comfortable and fits well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've worn the hat while running. I've worn the hat while sitting on the beach. I've worn the hat while shopping at the market. Very comfortable and the breathable side panels allow for air circulation and they add a nice touch! I'm glad I purchased the hat.

Good idea, but major flaws
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The brim width and crown mesh and great, but the design falls short: no chinstrap, no cinch. Would be much improved by these two additions. Also, the S/M seems very large, fits more like L/XL!

Good Summer Hat
Pros: Lightweight, breathable and well made Con: S/M is closer to a true M or M/L and no ability to snug it up if the wind is blowing.

Great sun hat
This is an excellent sun hat. It's quick drying and very light weight. The breath ability is outstanding. I live in a windy costal area and I find this hat vey aerodynamic so I'm not constantly trying to hang onto it while walking. If you are boating or something like that you may want to add a chin strap which this hat does not have. It brim has a soft foam material so it holds its shape bit is easily foldable to fit in a cargo pocket or backpack. I would buy this again. Finally, I wear a 7 1/4 Ian's the small/medium works great.

Do I need a second one already?
I'm so glad I bought this bucket hat! I use it for archery practice at the shooting range in Phoenix, AZ, so I needed something light weight, not too dark (I got the blue and yellow version), cool/breathable, and actually fits my large head. It is SO comfortable, from the first moment I wore it, and feels very reliably constructed. Unlike another bucket hat I tried from OR, this hat actually fits and sits down low enough on my crown that even in some decent wind, it hasn't budged on my head. As a large-head person (seriously, one-size-fits-all hats never fit me), I might even say it would fit folks with curly hair, it's a genuine L/XL. Love the colorways. The only way to make this the ultimate hat for me is if it had an optional chin strap, just to make sure it stays secure if on the water. I wouldn't wear this hat somewhere it might blow off and you wouldn't be able to grab it.
