any recs for a hat with brim ideally somewhere between a bucket hat and a cowboy hatlooking for sun protection from all angles (not baseball cap), but can be put in a bag easily (so not leather/straw)
People leave me alone on trails.It's peaceful
>>2872177that one you posted, nigga.Tilleys are the best.

There's a 20 inch diameter lamp shade hat on Amazon. I wear it
>>2872184>Tilleys>$100wtf, I'm sure they last a long time but what makes a hat made out of cotton cost this much?
>>2872177If it aint leather, it won't take the weather. Make sure you use wax, or oil, and remove the soil. Rain, wind or shine, my leather hat is just fine.
>>2872220Lifetime guarantee and their quality. They are one of those companies who will send you a new hat if something goes wrong with the one you bought. Also, a specialized product 'invented' for the sailing market. They are made for extremely windy conditions and stay on your head in bad weather.
I have the tilley sun cape hat but they discontinued it.
aren't tilleys all made in China now? i tried one of the Chinese ones and the metal grommets for the string came out. garbage build quality.
>>2872245They have some that are made in Canada still. I think just the heritage models.
>>2872239I see, the lifetime guarantee alone makes the price worth it, especially when a company has shown to be serious about it through the years
>>2872239>>2872270>lifetime guaranteeoh neat, will take a lookwhat are the metal circles for?

>>2872177For me? It's Outback Trading Co. https://www.outbacktrading.com/collections/hats
>>2872227As a profuse sweater, how would a leather hat stop from getting gooey and moldy?
>>2872290Usually a fabric band is sewn into the interior.
>>2872290Wearing a bandana under the hat will help but not much else you can do except cut more holes in the hat for breathability. Or move to a cold climate and sweat less.
>>2872284The oilskin ones look like nice, legit /out/ hats.>>2872292>>2872293Thnx for the answers, bros
>>2872177Some variety of boonie hat?
This is the new /out/ meta for seriously sunny and hot areast. Desert forest janny
>>2872305Do you get bothered by flies? Why the close coverage?This hat >>2872243 looks better for a desert to me, but I don't live in a desert.
>>2872305I just ordered an Outdoors Research brim hat, the one with insect repellant, hopefully it's good
>>2872310Its about having no sun/skin contact, not bugs. I havent used sunscreen in years. I also wear sungloves to protect the back of my hands
>>2872298sure, that looks about right - any reccs?
>>2872376Not that anon but I use the varusteleka boonie. It's got a hidden drawstring around the crown so it stays secure on my giant head without needing to use the chin strap.
