I still prefer a good wide brim straw hat. Call me old fashioned but these still work good for me. You might want to have a chin strap with it. I once hiked a mountain without a chin strap and a sudden burst of wind blew it off my head, never to be seen again!

Cotton jeans may not be sensible for bushwalking, but my point was that Akubras may not be as hot as you seem to presume that they are.

You may be right about my presumption, but you missed my point. Plenty of ranchers here wear clothes out of status and tradition; just because they have done it for so long does not mean it's the right thing for backpacking.
