LIGHTWEIGHT AND INDESTRUCTABLE HAT

lightweight, keeps its shape and is easy to care for. Does it's job of keeping sun and rain off your noggin faultlessly

a bit pricey and a wider brim would be a bonus. Maybe not the coolest looking hat.

this may seem a lot to pay for a hat (although you can get them for under £40) but mine has proven invaluable in enabling me to keep going in the sort of sunny conditions that have previously seen me struggling and ultimately suffering. It works pretty faultlessly, with its light weight, airy crown and brim that doesn't sag, even when soaked. It also keeps it's shape after washing and doesn't shrink. The company blurb calls it the best hat in the world and it's difficult to disagree.
