I'm out on the road a lot for work, and needed a hat that would protect my curls and keep me safe in the harsh country NSW sun - this hat has delivered in spades! It's faded a lot since I first bought it, thanks to weeks of road trips, UV 13 farm visits and rain, hail and shine without any rips or tears. Stoked to be sunsafe and look stylish (emphasis on the ish) while doing it.
