Great hat! Exactly what I needed at the best price! Great shipping speed and customer service so far. I got it a day earlier than expected.

This hat was ordered for running, hiking, biking and kayaking. It is lightweight, the size adjusts nicely. My head is small but I was able to pull it tight with no issues. The color (midnight) is true to picture and goes well with a lot. The hat breathes a lot- very soft above the bill (be careful not to snag it). I have not washed it but after getting it a little greasy from sunscreen I wiped it off with a Shout Wipe and it's all clean!

I love this weathered cotton classic look of a Fedora , from a distance it almost looks like leather. The picture in the ad does not do it justice (Color washed out and straight brim). Mine is very nice and of very good quality, but I'm sure that every single one is a little bit different than the next.

The brim is easy to shape it has a wire reinforcement in it that you can bend to create the form you want. I agree with some reviews that the wire brim is a blessing and sometimes a curse. It sometimes requires a little correcting to remove small bends in the wire. My brim is between 2  and 2  inches all around. Crown is more or less 4 inches front and back, and 5 inches in the middle

My hat size is  7 1/4 so I ordered the Large. (my head size is 22 5/8 inches  or  58cm). It was a little too big. I easily fixed that by getting some felt from the hobby store, cutting and folding it over a few times and then placing under the sweat band.  Perfect !

Although I wanted an Indian Jones Style fedora I really didn't want or need all the Indian Jones logos and official license stuff, but I can live with it.

Very good over all casual year long hat. Although, I wore it while hiking and it was quite warm. Rain is not a problem unless your in a huge downpour. Gets wet, but dries quickly.

I was a little apprehensive about ordering a hat without being able to try it on first, but I'm glad I did.  This hat is very light weight and doesn't heat up like other running hats I've used.  It's one size fits all since it has an adjustable strap. I was impressed with it holding very good form even though it's so light.  The bill of the cap is very sturdy and holds its shape well too.  This is a very simple looking hat and has brooks written on the bill as pictured and on the back.  I'm very happy with this purchase and will be wearing this hat a lot with the hot and humid weather we've been having.

This hat is light and easy to adjust to get a comfortable fit. I don't know if it's because I have a small head circumference, but it either hangs over my ears a bit or bunches up right above my ears. I have wore this hat for most of a day, walking around outside. I quickly forgot I was wearing it.
I love the reflective trim that goes nearly all around the hat (not on the adjustable straps), great for running/walking at sunrise/sunset. Im not sure I will choose to wear this when running at night.

I ordered this Headsweats Elite Outdoor Cooling hat because I needed a good running hat to keep my hair back and out of my face. When I received this hat I was surprised at how lightweight it feels. It feels about half of the heaviness of my regular hats. The material is 100% polyester and it is very light and soft feeling. The brim of the hat has a silver reflective strip around it and the inside of the brim is black to cut down on sun glare. Based on the model's picture, I thought that this hat would run a little big, but it fits me about average. I have very thick, curly hair and sometimes women's hats run a little small on me, but this one fits fine. It also has an adjustable Velcro cinch in the back so you can adjust the fit. I have only had the chance to use it in the winter, but I am very excited to try it out this spring and summer. It does dry very quickly when it gets sweaty and it is light and comfortable on my head when I'm running. I purchased this hat for a discount in exchange for my honest review.

I had been looking for a lightweight cap for running, when I came across this. I found that caps will help me keep cool in the summer by preventing the sun from beaming down on my face. However, most baseball caps are made of cotton and/or have the stupid rivet on the top. Most of the cotton caps have a few grommets for breathing which causes my head to overheat in the heat.

The Asics is made of 100% polyester, not unlike most running clothing designed for the summer. The bill has a lot of material stretched out underneath, they probably could have stitched that spot to make it fit better. The design is otherwise fairly bland, with a reflective stripe that runs down the length of the hat, and an embroidered ASICS logo on the bill. The adjustment is a velcro strap with a plastic buckle.

Overall: 5/5 stars, inexpensive, lightweight, breathes well, and dries quickly. It fits my needs for running during the summer. I could use it for golf and other outdoor activities as well.

Nice quality, no frills but does the trick!  I use visors to run and would prefer a Dri Fit type hat that dries quickly but for anyone who just wants a sturdy hat to protect from the sun, this will work very well. For my needs, I'd don't want something cottony that keeps damp for a long time.  But that's not the fault of the hat, I just picked the wrong fabric for the exercise.

This is exactly what I have been looking for in a hat. It has a good fit, and the perfect hat to wear when you need a dressed hat.. I  get at lot of compliments from this Hat. You need to look no more. BUY IT.

This is the hat you want to wear when you are going to be in extreme temps. Plenty big enough to pull to my eyebrows and down on to my neck. Very warm for regular wear. Just right for extreme wind chill temps.

The hat fit wonderfully. The inner drawstring makes it fit to any size head. The brim is relatively firm meaning it's not floppy as if it could be shaped. The lightweight material is absolutely great for being outdoors all day. I actually wore it jogging and it stayed tight and comfortable with the great drawstring. Sellers were actually very pleasant to work with. All in all, great purchase and I definitely recommend it.

This hat is attractive and cool, making it an excellent choice for runners and fitness buffs. The material is a polyester and has a UV rating of 30+. It has an adjustable strap with a quick release buckle on the back. I have it adjusted as small as it will go and it just fits me. My hat size is 7 1/8, so you may want to take that into account, if your hat size is smaller. It fits nice and snug, with no gap above your head like a typical baseball cap.

I purchased two of these hats from a different Amazon vendor (and $3 cheaper) in the summer of '13 for my husband and me to wear to outdoor concerts. From past experience, I knew I needed the air circulation on the top of my head.  I knew I needed a minimum 5" brim with a thick-enough adjustable chin cord for not only those gusty, windy days, but also to be able to flip the hat off down my back without worrying about carrying it around indoors or at night.  This particular style comes with an attractive wooden ball on the chin strap to securely hold the hat onto your head and looks nice on the neck.

It's made of 100% straw - a breathable material that allows heat to escape and air to flow - yet it has a tight enough weave where no sun filters onto your face.  It also features a pinched crown and a wide 5" brim with an interior ribbon sweatband.  One size fits most (and my husband has a large head, but it perches just fine on top) and it is unfortunately made in China.  This is not a hat you can fold and/or pack.

One of the hats got swiped about a year ago, however I have worn the other almost exclusively ever since (with the exception to weddings) to ALL outdoor activities, concerts, pool parties, desert gardening, even just walking in the hot desert sun through a long parking lot to a store - so it not only is cooler, but a true skin saver!.  I just am now noticing extreme wear (broken weave with patchy holes forming) on the right hand side and center of the brim - exactly where my hand goes to take it on and off.  The weave is slightly broken at the pinched crown as well, so it is time for me to re-order.

A major plus for this hat is the unisex brim ribbon adorned with either turtles or tortoises - I have gotten a few compliments on the hat, especially those familiar with Hawaii.  This product provides a good bang for your buck.

If there's a better hat for running I haven't found it!  It wicks away the sweat, shades my eyes from harmful UV rays and is the perfect weight for training.  It's especially good at helping keep neighborhood dogs away by just hopping to all fours and then urinating to mark your territory.  4 paws up!

This is perfect, exactly what i was looking for.  I needed a hat that could accommodate my hair being in a pony tail, but still have some 'slouch' left in the hat.  The hat fits great, seems warm enough (haven't used it outside yet), and is stylish.  The item appears exactly as it does online.  I would buy another in a different color, should I need anymore hats.

This hat is just what I hoped it would be.  The top and brim are solid, providing sun protection, but the mesh allows for air circulation to keep your head cool.  It's almost identical to the Henschel khaki hat, but this one also has mesh covering the brim, giving it a different style.  Originally thought the cord was unnecessary,  but while golfing in a very strong breeze I had to use the cord to keep the hat from blowing off my head.  The cord goes around the back of the hat when not in use.
