I have been the owner of a Tilley for the past six years. Best hat I have ever owned. I went to the top of Grandfather Mountain while the wind was 60 mph and I just lowered the chinstrap and my Tilley stayed put. Keeps the sun out of my eyes and the rain off my neck. I have the nylon Airflow with the widest brim. I lashed a lucky feather to a safety pin and pinned it to my hat, now I land more fish!!
