You should stick with the OR hat.

Had a Tilley, they are too heavy and not completely waterproof or
breathable.

Sorry Steve...

I personally prefer a Tilley. They have a dual strap that totally prevents
it from blowing off, it's cool, floats, and has a lifetime warranty and is
insured against loss.

The only drawback is that a few of the younger kayakers in our local club
say you have to be over 50 to "qualify" to wear a Tilley.
