Sierra Straw Drifter

The crown vents really make a difference on a sunny day—my head stays surprisingly cool. This hat holds its shape perfectly even after being tossed in my beach bag a few times.

I was worried a straw hat would feel stiff, but this one is surprisingly flexible and comfortable right out of the box. The woven toyo material breathes nicely even in the afternoon sun, and the western silhouette gives just the right amount of shade without feeling too heavy.

The lightweight toyo straw feels surprisingly sturdy without being heavy, and the western silhouette sits perfectly even in a breeze. I've worn it for two beach days already and it still looks as good as new.
