    Default Question about hats

    Ok, this is gonna sound slightly strange but ... i have spent the better part of 4 years looking for the "right" fishing hat. three years ago i found one by outbak survival gear made of kangaroo leather, it is very soft and very light, but i am concerned that it will be too hot to wear once the temps start to rise in late spring/early summer.

    does anyone wear leather type hats into the summer?

    Anyone have experience with the kangaroo leather hats?

    Thanks
    Joe

    Aw, way-way-way too hot for warm weather. These are exactly perfect!

    Default Boonie

    I used to wear a camo boonie and when it got hot enough I'd soak it in the water. Worked great, had a chin chord and wooden adjuster bead. Then I went to long billed ball caps and always wore a white t-shirt and if it got too hot, I'd take off the t, put the long sleeve shirt back on, soak the t, put that over my head so it covered my neck, ears, sides of my head, soak the ball cap and put that back on holding the t in place.

    Now I have a big wide brimmed straw job...shades well, is cool and light but I dasn't wet it as it would fall apart. Hope you get ideas !

    Cheers,

    MontanaMoose

    Default Hats

    I have had this for about 4years now and thoroughly enjoy. Is actually comfortable in summer as well as protective from errant flies ( of the hooked persuasion) and the sun.

    I have also found leather to be too hot for me.

    thanks for the input guys, i have plenty of ballcaps but i am looking for something to keep the sun off my ears and neck.

    The specific hat that i am looking at is one of the few that i have found that looks good on my face

    I just dont want to sink the money into it if it is going to be too hot to wear.
