Headwear for Hot weather...

[Todd L]

Just a Tip for anyone who might be interested.

I used to wear Baseball caps to the parks In the hot weather. I have very Fare Irish Skin and a HUGE forehead that gets burned very quickly.

I used to wear these while I was In the Air Force and Got a Few before Our trip a few years back.

They are referred to as Boonie Hats . The come In light weight material (be sure to ask for Hot weather) and a bunch of Different colors.

My son wears Digital Desert Camo.They cost around $15 at your local Army Navy store.

No more sweating into a Heavy Cotton hat that gets all nasty with stains.

End of the day you can rinse it out in the sink and They wont lose their shape. Btw, My wife REFUSES to wear these as does my Daughter...the are Murder on your hair...according to them anyway!!

I am very fair as well. I've been known to sport a safari hat similar to that photo but a bit floppier. It's made of wicking material as well.

I run the new ones thru the washer a few times to soften them up a bit!! They get real comfy.....of course you have to run to the restroom everytime you sit down to eat so you can comb your hair but No biggie!!

I used to wear those in my Army days, now I enjoy a straw Panama hat, very cool for the head and uncool for my son.

For me, it's typically baseball caps simply because of the hot weather. I usually wear hats in which I don't mind sweating in plus it's easier to stow away in my bags. But I mean, it's got to be something you can wear for the most of the day and don't mind having it get wet from rain or sweat. I frown upon visors because personally, I think they're tacky.

My wife is a postal carrier here in Florida and she wears something similar by Salt Life called a bush hat. It is incredibly light weight, has vents at the top and does a good job at keeping the sun off of her face and neck. It can be folded up small enough to be stuffed in your average cargo short pocket.

Hang on to yourself ( excuse the song pun ) But I was given the hat by Mick Ronson ( R.I.P. ) when I met him after a Hunter/Ronson concert in Glasgow...That was in 1975..One of my favourite guitar players of all time,and a proper gentleman.My photo of the two of us hangs proudly in my music room..
