What brands do you like? I’m just looking to keep the sun off me when I’m working in the yard. I sweat a ton so cotton might be good. Any suggestions? | ||

IDGAF what I look like doing yard work so I wear those ridiculous boonie hats with the built-in neck flap/mullet. I wore out the name brand one running it through the washing machine so now it's a no name one from Amazon.

Tilley is great for hiking. Yard work and short hikes, I've been satisfied with cheap Propper or Tru-Spec boonies. $10-20 each. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

Same. I'm not going to spend $100 on a Tilley boonie for outside labor that's going to get torn up, soaked with sweat on every week, coated in grass/paint/mud/tar, etc. Instead I'll buy a cheap Rothco/Teesar/Propper/Tru-Spec boonie and just wear it until it gets too gross or falling apart, then replace it. | |||

Dorfman Pacific. I keep one spare in my truck. People do go out of their way to avoid you when wearing one. Good reason I wear them. | |||

If you see me running try to keep up |
USGI - still have/wear my three color and six color desert camp boonie hats that were issued to me. I lost my woodland camo boonie. | |||

I have my USMC woodland camo which is a little warm this time of year for me, so I also have a Carhertt Force in khaki which does a good job. | |||

Check out Shelta hats. I like them because they have a hard insert in the front to keep the brim right where I like it. www.sheltahats.com | |||

I ordered this one by Propper in 2017 and it's held up well for me - https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod...04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | |||

Staring back from the abyss |
Just ordered one of them (Landhawk). I like the formed bill. A little on the spendy side (though not as much as Tilleys), but I need something good. I wear a ballcap 99% of the time I'm outside, but my ears have taken a beating over the years. This looks like a good hybrid between a ballcap and traditional brimmed hat. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

Tilley. Buy once cry once. | |||

Yep. I thought Tilley was too expensive, so I looked at Columbia and a couple of no name brands. Then, I went back and bought the Tilley I'd been looking at. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

The Tilley I have is nylon or some other than cotton, but it’s a great hat for the sun. Recently I’ve been using a straw hat I got at the beach last summer. Has a cool kraken design on the inside . Similar to this, but I only paid $25 for it https://www.amazon.com/HUK-Sta...83795282038523&psc=1 "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

Not really from Vienna |
I’ve been wearing the ones Propper makes for years. I work outside and I sweats freely, so the ability to throw them in the washing machine when they start to stink is a huge advantage. | |||

Tilly makes some very nice hats. Sunday Afternoons make a good variety at more approachable prices. Crye Precision makes a very classic looking boonie with their Bush Hat. I had a MultiCam boonie with a mesh top-crown back when Crye had just gotten going, someone stole it, would sure like to find another one as they don't make them anymore. | |||

Tilly LTM2 It's a friggin hat so don't sweat that it's expensive relative to others. It's a great hat. If you don't like the extra wide hat, the LTM6 is their most popular, and with good reason. I wear mine all the time and I have another identical one for hiking, boating and trips to the desert. Someone should do a summertime Karma for a Tilly hat. | |||

Peace through superior firepower |
I just looked up Tilley. Freakin' a hundred dollars for a boonie hat? | |||

You can usually do a little better on price on Amazon. It's a buy once kind of thing. Built well and not just pieces of material sewn together. You'll never hear a Tilly owner say the hat was a ripoff or a piece of useless crap. We think nothing of a $150+ custom holster and more for matching belt, mag holder and no one questions the value or level of workmanship. Same with Tilly AirFlow hats. | |||
