>> No, no, no. For all the above, ya gotta know that Tilley hats rule. AND they stay on in the wind so you don't need a leash. Besides, I like the story about the guy who retrieved his after the elephant ate it and wore it another 20 years or whatever. :-) Harold So. Cal, so right >> ************************************************************************* I agree. I like sun protection all around, so I like a wide-brimmed hat, and the Tilley is the one I chose. It has straps both front and rear to keep the wind from blowing it off. When the first one tore in the washing machine, I took it back to the dealer and got a free replacement. For real downpours, however, I also carry an old Goretex rain hat.
