There's a lot of love for Tilley hats usually but having now owned one I don't rate them. Are the nylon ones any better than heavy feeling cotton ones? The brim is a bit too floppy and shapeless IMHO.
I own a North Face IIRC a v brimmer wide brimmed, mesh lined crown and vents around the crown. The brim is meant to be floppy as part of the design. It's solely about function in hot and sunny regions. Cool, light and comfortable. The brim of my Tilley is not really that more stiff than that other brimmed hat. It's not as comfortable to wear. I'm actually not a fan of cotton in outdoors clothing even hats.
So is there a better brimmed hat out there? Anyone seen or tried the Sunday Afternoons hat range out? They look good on the screen and photos.
