Need visor recommendation
My favorite visor, a Simms Rivertek, needs replacing. Bought it 3 years ago and it appears Simms no longer makes the model.
It was superb in keeping sun/reflection out of my eyes on the water because of the wide and 4 inch long brim. Every other visor I've looked at has the "now-in-style" short brim which is pathetic for reducing glare.
Anybody know of a visor with a 4 inch or longer brim?

Hows about this one?

Be careful with a hat like this. You might start writing short stories and best selling novels and become a chick magnet!!

If you have the latest Bean catalog there's an offer for free shipping if use the code on your mag. BTW, the catalogs cover is done by M. Simon, an old Boulder fly fisherman.

Lefty Kreh does not approve of the long billed hats/visors as they hide you cast! (They do!!) I would go with a Tilley for complete protection, ears, neck, nose, etc.
My fishin' bud has a Tilley. He can't cast worth a ...can't write and scares the buggers out of the chicks.

Fly Fishing Rule #5 - If a gadget or other item is PERFECT for your needs, buy two (or several in my case) as they will surely be discontinued.Originally Posted by HCR
Heed this advice once you find a suitable replacement for the Rivertek!
A sage observation Bambozzle. If the item were "perfect" for many flyfishers, it would continue to be made. Seeing as how it is "perfect" only for thee or me suggests we are very peculiar indeed.

This site shows on for sale. Might be worth a follow up.

Thanks Donat, but when I went to site and clicked to "buy" the browser displayed another site (Sierra Trading Post) and the visor could not be found as an item in their inventory.

Anything I can do to "hide my cast" is desirable.
