These canvas hats are ideal for traveling as they are lightweight, they fold down, have a built in chinstrap and have a wider brim to protect you from the sun. These hats are not supplied with a free travel bag.The wide brim and top of the crown are made of waterproof canvas to give plenty of protection from the sun. The sides of the crown are mesh which allows maximum air flow for cooling and the front of the hat has a panel inside to stop your forehead burning. The hat can be folded for transport and it will return to it's original shape. To get a good fit, please measure the circumference of your head, one inch above your eyebrows, in a comfortable fit, which means not too loose and not too tight, as you would like the hat to feel on your head and then select a size. Pretty much always go for the size up if you fall in between sizes, so for example a 58cm head measurement, I would suggest a Large 59cm hat.
