Cool in more ways than one
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I needed something to keep my head cool since I live in Arizona. This did the trick. Not only is it a high-quality item, but it looks good too. My wife has the previous year’s version and it was a little snug near the ears so I was worried about that with this one, but it wasn’t a problem. I went medium based on the recommendations and measurements. Works just fine for my weird head shape.
