Why is there so much hate for those hats? When used as a piece of athletic wear, they can't be beat. The mesh backing allows air to circulate around the head. The built-in padding keeps sweat out of the eyes. The bill provides shade which can be adjusted to fall anywhere: the face, neck, or sides of head. They are inexpensive. They are adjustable so one size truly fits all. They come in all colours. Why do they receive so much derision? I think they're great, functional pieces of equipment. I even wear mine to church sometimes.
