I remember a couple years ago someone started a thread on the same subject. That's where I got the idea to buy my Tilley hat. It is expensive but after a couple years of use, it is one of the best investments I've made that help me enjoy a day of soaring. Another nice comfort accessory is my Kermit folding camp chair.
Aloha to all on RCSE, Al Battad - WH6VE AMA #506981 -----Original Message----- From: George Voss [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 8:12 PM To: '[RCSE]' Subject: [RCSE] The best soaring hat? I know this will start a huge discussion, but what is the best hat for both slope and thermal flying? I currently use a Chi Chi Rodriguez cane hat. I like it for thermal flying but the brim is too soft to hold up in slope lift. That, and it doesn't have a chin string/strap and blows off in strong slope lift. Baseball hats don't protect the ears or neck. Opinions please. George RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
