Chin buttons not long enough
The picture on the website shows the flaps of the hat unbuttoned. That is because the hat is awkward and does not button under the chin. Instead, it buttons on top of your mouth and covers half of your cheeks. It still functions as a neck flap hat, but if the buttons are not able to be used they should not be there at all.

Perfect!
Purchased this for my husband and he usually has difficulty finding hats that fit him. With the adjustable drawcord toggle, it fits him perfectly. Love how the visor and neck coverage protect your face and neck from the sun’s harmful rays. Also, the visor is just the right depth where it does not block your vision while playing pickleball, which is what we use it for.
