I have this hat are the late summer. He has become during my walks with our dog a cherished companion. A hood is a horror to me. Umbrella and dog leash also just do not mix. That's why I angeschaft my hat. He is really waterproof! the wide brim protects well the face and me running rainwater in the neck !!! Price-performance is okay, he looks good and makes a stable impression. I would buy my hat anytime.
