By Hiker Steve from Portland, Oregon on 11/15/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish Best Uses: Casual Wear, Commuting, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual, Comfort-oriented, Practical Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It rains a lot here in the Pacific Northwest, and this hat keeps my head dry. I tend to dress practically rather than stylishly, so I was surprised to receive complements about the hat. My only regret is that they aren't available in brown.
Great cool/cold weather casual hat By Jayhawk94 from Colorado on 11/11/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Stylish Describe Yourself: Casual, Practical, Stylish Sizing: Feels full size too big Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I own a well-fitting Akubra Traveler in a 59cm size. I had to exchange this hat for a 58cm size and still a wee bit larger than my Akubra. I definitely like the hat however and hope it "shrinks to fit" somewhat with a little wear and sweat. This strikes me as hiking and casual cool/cold weather wear hat what with its wool band instead of a ribbon. I've dinged it one star only because it runs a size large and I had to exchange it. That said I'm quite happy with it and have already worn it twice this week.
