I was delighted with my straw hat - fit and sun protections. Nevertheless, I was worried about if it would truly "crush & pack" as described. To my relief, when I removed it from my tightly packed luggage, it resumed its shape and was ready to protect me from the sun.
Very nice sun hat. Held up well even when crushed into my over-packed suitcase. Bought it in the straw color but may buy another as it is so flattering and practical. Good sun protection and versatile.
