I received this hat as part of a promotion, so it was a completely unexpected bonus. I took it along on a recent 5-day tramp and decided to wear it instead of my usual cap—and I’m really glad I did. The wide brim does a great job of keeping the sun off my face and neck, the chin cord keeps it secure in windy conditions, and it folds flat, so it packs easily without taking up much space. Overall, I’m very pleased with it. What started as a free extra has quickly become my go-to walking hat.
