In the USA, the milspec booney hat ain't bad, though I prefer the Tilley. Soak it in a stream or at a 7-11 if it is hot out Best Regards, Will William M deRosset Fort Collins CO USA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsu

I shifted to Tilley’s organic cotton mesh hat, and it’s a much lighter fabric than their sail cloth. Very cool, still hearty. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop rec

Laing- Likewise, I've never found a motorcycle helmet that was* too *big. But my 2XL HJC (Sy-Max model, IIRC) fits my 7 7/8 head pretty comfortably. I once got a 2XL Bern Brentwood bicycle helmet. I had to exchange it for the 3XL! -Tim On Tue, Aug 21, 2018 at 8:34 AM, lconley wrote: > Put m

I like my Tilley, and use it frequently. But, as Craig said, it can be hot in some conditions. I also use a straw cowboy hat for better ventilation and a wider brim. The brim on mine is stiff enough for my needs. I use a stampede strap to help keep it on during zippier descents. Chris Johns

I like those Sheltas. Ordering one soon. Tilleys are great too but very hot in the desert. Too thick. I don't wear a helmet. Crashing is a low probability event. Skin cancer is 100% probability in my case. They've been burning and cutting them off me every 6 months for 30 years. Sierra Trading

Put me in the Tilley camp. Bought my 1st one when I was taking sailing lessons on the recommendation of the instructor. They even make them that are too big for my head - wish I could find a motorcycle helmet that was too big. Made in Canada. Laing Cocoa FL >> -- You received this message
