With nearly 9,500 5-star reviews on Amazon and ringing in at below $20, this paper straw hat is ideal for traveling (when it's safe to do so). One Amazon reviewer brought the hat with her on a three-week honeymoon trip to Thailand and found that it was the perfect travel companion: "When I arrived to our first island, I took it out of my backpack after being folded up for about 5 days or more. It quickly started flattening out and to help it I put something heavy on the bill. It shaped back perfectly and was ready to wear. Throughout the trip I got it wet several times and folded and unfolded it with no issues…I can't rave enough about this hat!"
