So far, the Tilley is ranking high. Will the brim stay put in 25 mph slope lift? I'm not worried about the price. I figure if I own some pretty expensive radio and aircraft, $62 on a hat is doable. gv

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.
