This hat worked great in the Bahamas for my wife and gave her much more protection than a regular baseball cap. You can mash it when you pack and it comes out ready to wear looking great! She really appreciated the hat and that is huge because she is not much for these types of hats.
This hat really travel well. I took it on a trip to Mexico.....hint: put it in your suitcase upside down, stuff your swimsuit in the crown, then roll a couple of T-shirts and place them under the brim to hold the shape. Very cool and comfortable and a great way to keep the sun off your face.
