This is my hat below. I wear this all the time when out the trail or camping during the fall/spring/summer as the hat is light and well ventilated. I buy these at the local discount store for $1.69 or so and they usually last a couple of years before they start to loose their shape and or fray. This particular hat is about one year old now and has the lost the slight curl to the sides of the brim and the indentations at the top front center of the crown are almost gone.
