I bought this hat in high school and it has given me a lifetime of adventures. It's covered my head from the deserts of the Northwest through two seasons working in Antarctica. Over 400 miles of trails in Idahos wilderness and the beauty of our national parks. The oceans of New Zealand and the beaches of Hawaii. The best and only hat that has never let me down. Sadly the stitching is starting to fail after 20+ years of hard abuse. I'd have it repaired, but it may be due for a new one. Best hat in the world. And I've been everywhere, hot, cold, and many continents.
