Purchased for sun protection during walks / day hikes in sunny warm months.Well-made; good materials and construction.Darker fabric covers under-visor to reduce light reflecting off ground level.However, the curve on the bill can be off center.Out of sample of two, kept the one that was much less askew.Was concerned cap style could fly off under light windy conditions.Glad when taking cap off, feels like the pre-shaped visor helps to keep cap secure near the temples on either side of the face. Feels snug, but not overly tight or uncomfortable.SEMI-Water Repellent construction.The main synthetic center strip and visor fabric is water repellent, water beads easily.BUT the exposed sides of the MESH layer is not, soaks up water readily.So would expect sides of the head to be wet under light rain.Fine in occasional rain showers, head should dry off quickly with the mesh sides.Worn on morning trails, good sun protection (cap style does leave ears uncovered).Feels cool in light breeze, sweatband working as designed - no sweat dripping and stinging eyes.Overall happy with purchase. Good cap for designed purpose.Likely consider getting additional in Khaki color.NOTE: 4 stars for Sun Protection = max stars for Cap-Style IMHO, not due to bad design.
