I buy cheap WHITE ball caps for fishing, working in the yard, etc to keep the sun off my not too hairy head and reflect sunlight. They get dirty and need to be thrown out at the end of the season. I saw these hats and thought for the price I couldn't go wrong so I ordered 4. I wasn't expecting much for the price but to my surprise the hat fit (I have a larger head), the construction was better than I was expecting (in fact it may have been a heavier material than what I need since I use it for shade and cooling), And it had a Velcro strap instead of the plastic strap. I wouldn't be afraid to use these for team events etc. at all. I have been using it heavily for two to three weeks now and still very happy with it. By the way it looks good too
