It is lightweight and comfortable with no pressure points, it almost feels like you&#8217;re not even wearing it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you test the product? <\/strong>&#8220;I wore the hat at home for a couple of hours to make sure it was comfortable. In the past I have had hats that were initially comfortable but started to have pressure points after wearing it for a while. This felt like a natural fit so wore it on its first ride and it was perfect. I sometimes get headaches due to the weight of hats but it didn&#8217;t happen with this hat! The peak is just the right size so it shields your eyes from the sun (and the rain!) but doesn&#8217;t obstruct your view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/shires_karben_valentina_blk-blk01.-tt4.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1147\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/shires_karben_valentina_blk-blk01.-tt4.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/?attachment_id=1147\" class=\"wp-image-1147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/shires_karben_valentina_blk-blk01.-tt4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/shires_karben_valentina_blk-blk01.-tt4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/shires_karben_valentina_blk-blk01.-tt4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/shires_karben_valentina_blk-blk01.-tt4-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/karben_valentina_hat_navy_01.-tt5.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1148\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/karben_valentina_hat_navy_01.-tt5.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/?attachment_id=1148\" class=\"wp-image-1148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/karben_valentina_hat_navy_01.-tt5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/karben_valentina_hat_navy_01.-tt5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/karben_valentina_hat_navy_01.-tt5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/redp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/03\/karben_valentina_hat_navy_01.-tt5-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What was your favourite feature? <\/strong>&#8220;The colour and the fact it&#8217;s so lightweight.
