I have the baseball type of cap with large peak and the fold up neck protector . I have had it for years never been able to find another one. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

..and they can be passed through an elephant twice without ill effect. That feature is quite useful to me here in Suffolk.
They are good hats, use mine for kayaking. |

+1 for barmah squashy hats. Had mine for 15 years and it's great at keeping the sun off and your head cool. Also it kept my head dry when I got caught up the freak tornado that hit the Billing Land Rover Show a few years back.
I bought it in France after having a far too severe a hair cut and ending up with a sun burnt head  Fixing Land Rovers for over 25 years..........and making excuses to the wife for almost as long

 Click image to enlarge Rogue hats from South Africa. Picked on up on a trip there 12 years ago and used ever since. Suspect the Tilleys are better but I like the shape of this canvas one. 1995 Defender 110 CSW 1971 SIIA Lightweight |

+1 for TILLEY... bought one 15 years ago to keep the sun off whilst in Africa for 3 weeks.
Great kit - always happy to pay extra £ for this type of quality Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

I love mine. Also an essential item if you're into photography. They keep the rain off, protect you from UV and you can bend the brim up to put a camera to your eye.

Let's be honest, they’re no better than any other hat but they have become de rigeur for the macho image (bit like Defenders, really).
Go Outdoors have them on offer from time to time and I paid forty-six quid for mine. Peter |

Another +1 for Barmah used one a couple of trips to Australia- excellent.
I'm a fan of the Akubra hats from Oz as well, I have a Cattleman in fawn. Keeps the sun off very well as you'd expect and seems to cope ok with the British liquid form of sunshine we occasionally see...  |
