First of all, this hat came in a very thin, large'ish' box which is so much better than hats I have received from other companies. The hat was just folded one time so there were not tons of creases on the brim (which are near impossible to smooth out). Bravo on placing the hat neatly in a box!! The top portion is very lightweight and was wrinkled, but straightens out when I put the hat on.
The brim is wider than I thought it would be because I measured it against the other sun hats I have and the measurements were the same online. But that extra brim width is fine, and the brim is firm, which is a definite plus. The first hat I ordered a few years ago had a firm brim, but every other hat I've ordered since then (even though they are supposedly the exact same hat that I ordered from that first company) has flimsy brims and tops. And all of those hats arrived folded over into a tiny triangle which totally wrinkles the entire hat.
The mesh portion with small air-holes helps greatly in keeping the hat in place on windy days. The light blue color is also nice.
I like this hat and will be purchasing another in a different color.
