Hats ! but what one is the best? (1 Viewer)

[Reusables]

I work outside and have always got a hat on.
Wooly beanie in winter.(keep warm)

Baseball cap in the summer ( keep sun out of my eyes )
But I want to keep the sun off my ears and out of my eyes so been trying out bucket hats ..still sweat dripping down my forehead into my eyes..

Is there a hat anyone can recommend that keeps your head cool...sun out of eyes...sun off ears and not to cowboy ?

About 6 years ago now I bought a kangaroo leather hat (I really don't look good in baseball caps!). It is affectionately referred to as my "Indy hat". Does look slightly amusing but its bloody brilliant! Bought from Decathlon.

Was bought a brammah (probably a spelling error]. Does a great job. Don’t care what I look like

I've been wearing on of those for years. I was lucky to retrieve it the first time it was eaten by an elephant...

Thanks...I've always wondered do they actually keep your head cooler.. everyone in Australia wears them so they're tried and tested I suppose..
The thing is I have a draw full of hats so before I go shopping for another new one Ive got to get it right or I'm in for a ear full..
Decathlon is a favourite of mine but a good hours drive..and I'll want to try a couple on .

Tilley are great, but for Aussie class you have to go Akubra

 

[Tombola]

Legionnaire cap?
Cheap enough for work...and no need for sun cream on the neck saves on a few tee shirts being ruined by cream on the collar.

Tilley Airflow.

 

[John Barrett]

I lost my lightweight Tilley hat once, and they replaced it at half new price - which is probably what they sell them for to the trade- and it has been with me for many years. You even get an owner's manual!

 

[Stonemags76]

Tilley hat! Haven’t worn another hat since I bought it! Sun, rain, cold or wind it does the job! So comfortable I don’t know I have it on! Very expensive for a hat, but has proved itself to be worth the money, as I have now stopped buying all the other hats!

I've got a 'tilley' hat with Corfu written on it, but you can buy them in any Spanish resort for about €4

It's the cost of the each way flight to Spain that makes them a bit pricy.

No, I wouldn't make a special trip maybe someone can bring him one back from Benidorm

One I tried on in Titisee and since wish I’d bought it

Looks like money for old rope to me ................. well around the hat that is.

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

It’s a Tilley for me in the Spring and Summer , Autumn and Winter it’s a woolly Balaclava , knitted by my mum and with my gloves on elastic so not to loose them, and to join in the fun on Funster Rallies, the compulsory Split-Crotch Bobble Hat!

Another vote for Tilley. They replaced my first one free of charge after about 10 years, it was getting a bit worn.

Not one of those. I have the Tilley TH5 hemp hat. Love it.

I've got a Tilley hat but find it too warm at times. So for hot days I have a Columbia hat. I can't find the exact model I have on their website but this one looks as if it will do the job.

A performance hat with a sweatband, and mesh venting to keep you cool.
