Who wears a hat?

[Chris142]

I like hats but they overheat my head. Was very hot where we were today and my head was hot so I bought a hat hoping to stay cooler but all that did was collect my sweat and give me greasy hat hair.

What's the trick?

You could get a trucker hat, they have mesh for scalp breathability.

I like the visor on my ball cap, wear one most of the time I'm out.

I wear a ventilated mesh cap when I mow. Works pretty good.

Yep, When I see these will grab a couple bcs they seem to make less of the mesh type these days …

Get a wicking one from Nike or Columbia. Make sure it’s 100% synthetic. No cotton.

I generally wear a white one in the sun. Definitely cooler. Not in the sun and I don’t bother with a hat.

Uh

You have this option or a visor

I have to - it's either that or wear sunscreen on my scalp. No more trucker hats either.

Wear a billed cap, it's got the logo of my local Flight Training facility, albeit from 2009, but who cares. My hair is getting thinner, so it's needed.

I wear trucker caps in mild weather and a straw hat in summer.

I wear baseball hats anytime I’m awake. I feel different without them. Can’t think of the last time I went somewhere without a hat.

Sun hat: Ohh you betcha. Need to score a long necked Sun hat.

Lament: I never found an Australian Police Dept. equipment store for a uniform khaki summer hat. Great uniform.

Public Service Announcement:
The convertible we rented dropped its rear windows when the top actuated; up or down.
I parked and raised the top not realizing the rear quarter windows stayed down.
Someone reached in and stole my Tilley Hat.

Since we were in La Jolla, Mrs. Kira suggested a seal took it.

I was reading an article about someone that had to have half their nose removed due to cancer. When he asked the doctor what he could have done to prevent this his doctor advised him if he would have worn a cheap baseball style hat for a quarter of the time he was outdoors it would have solved his problem.

Important to wear a hat when out in the sun. I'm losing my hair and sunshine on bare scalp is not a good thing. I wear a brimmed hat to protect my face and ears as well. A ball cap is better than nothing but it leaves your ears exposed.

I saw and treated way too many skin cancers on the face, scalp and tips of the ears, which are caused by excessive sunlight (which after all is radiation coming from a distant fusion reactor).

The sweat bands do get sweat stained and when they get too bad I throw the hat out. My lawn mowing Tilley hat is washable. Wouldn't wear it anywhere else though - ugh.

I do the same.

Same here. Always some version of a curved bill adjustable ball cap. Have walked out the front door without it on and it feels like not wearing pants or something
. Boonie hat for being out in sun for > 1.5 hrs.

I prefer the belt-buckle style adjuster, then velcro, then the peg-snap ones. The plastic on the peg-snap ones makes me sweat quicker.

Haven't graduated to the mesh-back trucker hats yet...I will some day

I got about 5 trucker hats.

I didn't have to read an article, it happened to my neighbor. Lost the top of one ear as well.

Lifelong farmer, wore nothing but seed corn (ball) caps. It didn't work for him..

Ya maybe that's my issue. The only hats they had were solid on top
