Rough and rugged and great looking
I just moved to high elevation, and I don't mess around when it comes to the big fireball in the sky.
This hat is great. It crushes down to next to nothing and still holds its shape. It looks good. It fits good. It's a bit of a splurge from the Crusher, but having owned both I like this one a touch more.
I find that some of the imperfections mentioned in the comments add to the charm. It's a travel hat. It's made in small quantities. It's got some quirks - much like the hombres and mujeres that wear it.
