Hi i need a hat for when i'm not wearing the Gath and the FCS bucket hats look ok. Anyone have them and what's your opinion? Are there better ones? Cheers
I wear a nylon North Face hat. Its wide brimmed and the brim is tough. Overall its good but it has velcro tabs to pin the brim to the hat besides you head. You get the slouched hat effect when the wind picks up. Patriotic but doesn't help with the sun. I might remove theirs tabs. Two were purchased on special from an outdoors store for about ten dollars each.
I used to wear a straw hat which I think are the best but they fall apart.
it has nice stiff brim so it doesn't flop inyer face
be prepared for a deafening because all the sound gets reflected into your ears, and be prepared to get run over because it's hard to tell what direction the sound is coming from
As a fellow folically challenged one I wear one a lot. When I am not wearing a Gath. I go through about one a year as they start to let the sun through. No complaints.
There was an FCS hat and sunglasses left at Peli on Weds. Any takers?
FCS bucket hat has been working for me just fine...
... with one small modification: I cut out the fine mesh that covered my ears. Now I can hear if someone's coming up from behind, and can tell if they're coming from port or starboard.
