I coach football and needed a hat for speed and conditioning camp in the summer. All the other boonie/bucket hats I tried never covered all of my head and neck. Until I found this one. It covers my neck and head very well. It is lightweight and I can wear it all day. I was skeptical because it does not have a way to tighten the hat around your chin but it fits so well around my head I do not need that. It can be a little tight around your head, mine depends on how long my hair is.
