Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Wide Brim or Ball Cap? (fixed) › hats
I am a confirmed hat freak and use both but mainly the ball cap if I am wearing my rainwear with hood in a downpour. Otherwise I like a brim hat with mesh ventilation and about a 2 1/2″ brim. Tilleys are great hats, expensive but great. I also had a straw hat that lasted years, looked good,handled the breezes well and kept me head ventilated.
