I am very pleased with this hat. It is so stylish and very effective against the sun. I love that it holds its shape I bought the blue , and it is sooo pretty!!
I bought this for our hot, humid summers. So far so good. I've worn it a few times gardening and going on walks. It's a little loose on my head, but the strap takes care of any worries that it might fall off. I actually like the slightly loose fit because I like the room on hot days. Something tight-fitting might be uncomfortable while sweating. It's well constructed and I hope it lasts a long time.
I was given this straw hat for my birthday at least 5 years ago and love it. I wear it while I am gardening and if i want to wear it with a dress I simply put a ribbon around it. This hat is versatile, looks great and keeps the sun off your face. Great job LL Bean!
