I personally favor the Tilley T4, which is very comfortable, and has a big brim that extends well over the neck for protection. It also has a good strap to keep it on your head in windy conditions. A very durable and well-made product from our friends in Canada! http://tilley.com/detail.asp? catId=13&gender=m&extractBy=CategoryId&id=1&productNo=T4

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.
