I 'm not looking for high fashion in a rain hat but this hat is completely devoid of any style, structure, or magnetism. The lack of any structure makes it floppy in the wind and since wind often accompanies rain, it really wasn't any help. There are a lot of materials that can fit the bill for "water proof/breathable" and perhaps this product does too but the texture and appearance of this product for clothing is a big NO for me. As a matter of fact, it's just like those re-usable grocery bags made from recycled plastic bags. Next time I'll just wear one of them.
