My husband has very fair

"My husband has very fair skin and now his hair is thinning so head protection is very important. This hat fits well, stays on well and gives excellent protection while not getting in his eyes. It looks stylish and is not hot to wear. At the end of the session it dries quickly. It ticks all the boxes Jeanie D"
