        Comments about Dorfman Pacific Solarweave Mesh Trekker Hat:

        This hat works well in hot, humid weather and in the wind. The plush sweatband wicks sweat away and evaporates it through the breathable fabric and resists sweat-staining. The mesh crown ventilates well. It stays relatively dry and cool inside. The broad brim provides good shade for the face, ears and neck. In a strong wind, it stays on well with the chin cord, and the rigid brim resists flopping. Not my first choice for travel as it is not really crushable and won't do well in a suitcase. Also not ideal for water sports as the cotton twill can waterlog if submerged. My favorite hat for yard work, day trips and general daily use. My most comfortable hat and a good value.

        Best Uses

          Comments about Dorfman Pacific Solarweave Mesh Trekker Hat:

          Besides providing a cooling airstream, I thought that the mesh would eliminate or at least moderate the sun's rays. But in my case enough solar energy came through to leave me with a doughnut-shaped sunburn on my head (though the top of the hat, which is not mesh, provided adequate protection). Since I have little hair in that area, that may have been a contributing factor. But in such case, an additional caveat to the emptor would have been helpful.

                Comments about Dorfman Pacific Solarweave Mesh Trekker Hat:

                I ordered the large based on the circumference dimensions on the webpage, but it was too large. Seems to run a full size too big. Also the photo is misleading, it shows a white layer inside the vented part that is not really there. It is fully vented; great for air but bad if you have a bald spot. Other than that, a good hat at a good price.
