Poor quality. Purchased for a trip that we just finished because it was packable. Wore the hat for less than 20 hours and only packed it twice. Very early in the trip, tahe rim lost all shape and flopped down in my face. Kept the sun out of my eyes, but had to hold the brim up to see. Later in the trip, I noticed a small hole where the layers of material was coming apart (2 inches long). Decided to pack the hat in my suitcase for the trip home, instead of wearing it. Apparently being flat in the suitcase was too much for it, because the small hole increased in size and now half the hat is coming apart and it is unusable. Very, very disappointed.

Columbia Dies It Again!
Cute hat on! I am not convinced that it will pack well, but it should.

Love The Wide Brim For Keeping The Sun Out
It’s not easy to find a wide brimmed hat. This one is great. Love the fit and style and overall construction. It is wide enough to protect my whole face from the sun

Très Chic And Practical!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love hats and after losing my Columbia wide-brim hat in Zurich (I blame the chocolate) back in 2023, I was relieved to see a replacement a couple weeks ago. Imagine my surprise to unbox such a stylish chapeau! Though its wider brim made me think of Paris in the spring, it was bought for adventures in South America. Mid-August, I leave for a month-long vacation to Brazil where this hat will protect me from tropical rays as I stroll the famous beaches of Rio de Janeiro followed by 3 weeks in the Pantanal (jaguar safari!) and then an Amazon riverboat cruise. Packable, well-constructed with a must-have adjustable strap, it will literally top several quick-dry, multi-purpose, insect-shielded, Omni-Freeze Zero clothing from Columbia. In the meantime, I've worn this hat for outdoor concerts and shopping at the Farmer's Market here at home in the Midwest. My head circumference is 21.5 inches and the S/M is perfect. Thank you Columbia for getting it right, again!
