If you pack this hat in a backpack for example, the brim will remember the folds ect... But if you lay it flat over night it will be good as new. The lining dose get a little hot to me ,but it does wick very well!

Wonderful Rain Hat
By Susie the Island AdventurerVerified Purchaser from St. Catherine's Island, GA on 6/15/2006
Pros:
Good Protection from Rain, Rugged, Stylish

I was recently in a tropical storm with this hat in South Georgia, and I was more than happy that I had it. It stayed on my head despite winds and kept my head and neck dry from the rain. I have not tried it in the sun because I think its interior lining will keep in too much heat.

Husband could not live without this hat.
By JackieVerified Purchaser from Ft Worth TX on 6/14/2006
Pros:
Good Protection from Rain, Good Protection from the Sun, Rugged, Stylish, Washes Easily

Husband bought one several years ago. The hat went on a cruise with us. A few months back, we were in a loan car from a dealership and he left it in the back seat. When he noticed it missing, he called the dealership and they could not find it. I guess someone else liked it also. My husband had to get another one. He loves the way it keeps rain off. He hate water drops on his glasses!!! He now wants me to get one also.
