This hat is exactly what I wanted. Something lightweight, that isnt too big or poofy, doesnt sit on my ears, gives me shade without too much added heat while running or hiking, and is surprisingly packable....bonus for looking nice! I'm a big fan of Kuhl, and wanted their hat to work, but this one was just right. The only thing I dont love is that the strap (which is infinitely adjustable!) is quite long for my smaller head size. Not a big deal, and I understand it is needed for adjustability, I just wish it had a packet to store the extra length.

Just bought this last week, then promptly went on a 5 day 90 mile trip through the Wasatch mountains. Top has ample room for what I use it for, the belt was easily adjustable, and the belt pockets are a great size for items to access quickly. The front stretchy pocket was big enough for my 2 man tent, and the side packets are great as well. Nice durable fabric, so I never worried about setting it down or scraping trees and brush, and the waterproof finish was extra nice as I encountered plenty of weather, and the only water that ever got in, was my spilled 3L bladder (my fault) which fit nicely inside the interior pocket.
Now for my only complaint. I'm a 5'9" guy with an 18-19" torso length. I bought a regular (18-21") and felt like it was too short. With the belt super tight on my hips, there simply wasn't enough adjustment to keep the pack off my shoulders! I got a "killer deal" on the pack so I can't complain even if it becomes a pack for my wife or kids, but it was disappointing to have such tired and worn shoulders after the 5 days, so no 5 stars.
