I recently purchased this hat, and I couldn't be happier with it. The look and feel is fantastic and it’s nice to have a design that is unique and maybe ironic on especially hot days. I’m a heavy sweater and I always sweat through hats. I played with this hat when it was about 95 degrees (TX) and the sweat band protected most of the hat. A little sweat came through but washed away right away with some water.
