I love my mak sk. I got this model because i wanted to be able to wear my stormy when it gets warmer. This hat is way smaller in the same size. The liner is extremely rough and uncomfortable on my forehead. Im going to try to cut it out and see if the hat survives. ---Hi Michael, I am sorry your hat isn't fitting as expected. We are happy to process an exchange for you so you can obtain the correct size. I will send over an email on how to do so shortly. SK---
