It's tough to beat Dorfman Pacific for quality, and it's certainly hard to find anything cooler than a crushable felt hat!

3 inch brim means it has great coverage to keep the sun-burning to a minimum, and sheds water clear of your collar. It's also crushable!

Great style, even though its a kinda funky shade of sage. The material, crushable waterproof wool felt, is beautiful. Totally downpour resistant, except for where they stitched in the cotton lining, but it's not to big of a problem.

Best of all, did I mention it's crushable? That means I can stow it in my bag whenever I want, or even stuff it in my pocket. (For instance, at the airport, so that the TSA doesn't search me on account of my "head covering")

Probably the best hat I've ever owned.
