Nah, they are made to keep the sun off & keep you cool during hot summer
paddling. Just dip your Tilley in the water & slap it on your head. Try
that with some cheap imitaions & the dye runs all over you.  If those
open gromet holes bother you, I believe Tilley sells little mesh
inserts.

Of course as you say, image is the main reason to buy a Tilley. That
works for the first year & then it is just another old hat. Nobody
comments on mine anymore.
