Mine may be considered crush hats but they work for me. I do have a Filson waxed cotton brim hat but it’s too stiff for me so I rarely use it. I have also used Tilley hats quite a bit and do like them a lot but there are other cheaper hats that work as well for half the money.
I love OR hats. The XL sizes fit my gargantuan melon and they are typically 50 SPF. This one I like: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005BVXZUK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image Railriders also sell a great sun hat. Theirs comes with a neck shade stowed in the underside of the brim that you can deploy when needed. I think the brim is a bit wider on this one too and they are on sale. This Company has other SPF clothes that are decent https://www.railriders.com/sun-sombrero-p-1029.html?cPath=90_101 Robert Tilley San Diego, CA Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 8, 2020, at 1:05 PM, Patrick Moore <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > We've discussed hiking or walking shoes, walking as supplementary exercise to > cycling, and now --- hats.
