Bushcraft hats...

[juttle]

Hi,

Just a thought, but if anybody's looking for an interesting 'bushcrafty' hat, take a look here:

No connections, etc, etc, I found them this morning and ordered one. I'll do some sort of mini review when I get it.

Cheers, All,

Bob

Having seen these in the 'flesh' so to speak, I can confirm that they will last a life time and then some! Much tougher than any other hat around.

I've seen a lot of lorry tarps in Africa and South America that were scrapped because the material was falling apart - they tend not to get rid of stuff while it still has life in it. I think I'd prefer one to be made of material that hadn't been "weathered", as I can't help wonder if that isn't a euphemism for knackered.......

My preferred style, don't quite know where the tarp has been, if a survival need then yes.

Then you've likely seen the hats as well. There sold on the streets in Brazil (have been for quite some time from what I understand) Much cheaper there though. One of the members here, Pict, wears one and seems quite happy with it. I keep hoping he will post on this thread.

Maybe, but I'd think probably not. After all it's just canvas, and vented at that. They are made and primarily worn in BRAZIL. By BRAZILIANS. LOL. Think about it.

OK, quick update.

My hat arrived this afternoon, a bit over 24 hours after I ordered it. Not bad for starters!

The one I got seems pretty much like the one on the website, no lettering, and a patch on the crown.

It's clean, tidyish and pretty light when compared to my usual headgear, a Rogue 127.

The Amazonas hat has a wired brim which seems to allow a degree of shaping and two large vents either side. The brim is also wider than my Rogue, the picture shows the Amazonas over the Rogue!

So far, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. It is light, comfortable and gives the impression of being pretty much 'bulletproof'

I'll give it a day or two to settle in and come back with how it copes with UK weather, although, its obviously coped well with Brazialian weather, so anything the UK has to offer should be childs play!

Had thought about it, I figured Brazilians don't graft at the same pace as us , and are naturally acclimated to the weather. Plus it depend s if they are entirely canvas or canvas/plastic like our wagon tarps......
