I have a Lifesystems pop out hat with net hanging. Good for west coast camping.

I used to use a Shemagh, a gift from a submariner form the gulf war, in winter up hills. Keeps the ears warm and good in blizzard but as you descend it soaks up rain.

I have a Tilley TH4 Hemp for keeping the big ball of fire off my face and a ushanka from ebay for the winter

I think the ushanka came from the ukraine it was and when it arrived the little import sticker thing you get on the front, apparently ushanka in ukranian translates as "wanka" .... I'm sure it offered the postie no end of amusement to find out that I had bought a $10 wanka from the ukraine.

Just got an akubra stockman from hats direct, excelent service, but the hat is to warm for this time of year.
