Chillba Hat

Rating:****

I wear it hiking and kayaking. Comfortable to the point I forget it's there. Obviously, not the proper hat to wear in high winds. Keeps the rain off.
I've even ran in it and it rides well.

it's a good one

Rating:*****

Sits a little high, but a great sun hat. Didn't get too hot with strenuous activities.
