Buy it if
- Exceptional breathability — mesh panel around entire crown with unsewn outer layer for maximum airflow
- Extremely comfortable elastic sweatband and flat cinch cord that doesn't dig in
- Removable chin strap lets you reclaim style points when wind isn't a factor
Skip it if
- Floppy brim can droop over eyes in wind without chin strap tightened
- Not very stylish — 'old disheveled fisherman's hat vibe'
- 2.9-inch brim offers only moderate sun protection vs. wider alternatives
