Brilliant. This is a hell of a lot better than a refrigerator-sized box filled with packing peanuts or 'air blisters'

Or it came from sea level and OP is a mountaineering westerner that lives atop a high plateau where he ranches his cows. I mean with a hat like that, one has to assume.

You know what? I like this explanation, no other will suffice. I declare this as canon forever more!

The reason this does not work to protect items is that the item still bounces around inside of the bubble. The reason you surround items when packing them is to keep them secure in their position so they don't bang around. That being said, with this hat it might be fine since it is not fragile.
