This is a new item, but it doesn't have tags, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I bought it two years ago. I forgot I had it and bought another hat, so I'm selling this one. The head part is mesh, so it's not waterproof, but it has excellent breathability and quick-drying properties. On rainy days, if you wear the hood of your raincoat, the long, wide brim will protect your face well. The rear protective curtain is made of a slightly stiffer fabric than other companies' products, so it doesn't cling, which is a good feature. It can also be fastened with a button. It's a unisex, free size.
