Oh sure, I could have paid $50 bucks or more for a fancy travel sun hat that you can wad up in your suitcase, but I'm not the hat wearing type typically. This hat actually says it's made of paper...so I won't be swimming in it. It seems like a cross between fabric and straw...it doesn't look or feel like paper.
To pack it, my plan is to stuff the inside of it with underwear or something similar, then lay it flat in the suitcase just as you see it here, and pack things around it. I'll try not to mush it, but we'll see what happens.
Mostly we ("Thelma" and I) bought bags, hats, swimsuits, sunglasses to create an exaggerated movie star effect. We're just gonna rock our bad selves. If we look like middle aged caricatures, we might not feel so self conscious. Nothing like going overboard to allay self consciousness.
I have a smallish head and it fits fine. If you're head is large, I'm not sure what to tell you. There are a few reviews for this hat on the website and most people seem to like it. Who knows, maybe I'll learn to wear it gardening.
As with my other review posts for stuff I'm planing to take with me to Cozumel in August, if I haven't updated the post after I return (say by the first part of September), remind me and I'll update you on how it performed on the trip.
I like the style, the color, the fit, and the price. Mostly the price.
September 2012 Update: OK, guess what? I'm not a hat person. The hat traveled well. I stuffed it full of underpants, then layed the brim flat in the bottom of the suitcase and packed around it. I tried it on once while we where there. I'm just not a hat person. So it stayed in the hotel room after taking maybe one photo of me in it...acting goofy. So I can't tell you much more than that.
