Which hat
Now that the titanium spice rack has been fitted, the next big question is which hat for when off the bike.
I was sold the TT 35L hat but I just couldn't get on with it: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1302/...9ba6b971_m.jpg I was thinking about something durable, waterproof and for bikers but all that kept coming up was this (not from TT yet): http://edseastcoastleathers.com/images/AL%203226.jpg I even looked to famous biking legends for inspiration: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QzqmUTTjhg...Big_fish_i.jpg But I am yet to find that elusive perfect biking hat. Anything foldable looks a bit wimpy and limp, and anything sturdier wants to catch the wind when lashed to the bike. http://open.salon.com/files/375416-m...1251089279.png There must be a better solution? |

Rabbit or Wool felt hats are pretty waterproof (ish), keep the sun off and some can be rolled up and stufed in a pocket. I have one a bit like this Packable Felt Hat -- Orvis UK
Although it's about 15 years old so looks much better than a new one. |
I have a Tilley T3 that i've had for ever... they just keep going
Lightweight, they float and they're guaranteed fer life Tilley T3 |
tilley and white rock
I got the Tilley airflow LTM5 for summer and the White rock leather bush hat for cooler days.
Both fantastic hats even if they do make look like a tit when I am wearing them!! |
