I wear something some sorta style as teh pork pie hat, an old denim-type surf hat, fits perfect to my head with light strap thing, stiff from years of salt so doesn't annoy vision
yeah my old mans at that important stage in life where he has to much hair to put sun screen on his head but not enough to protect him from getting burnt. He wares a hat simular to nebbian's first one...
Ive been using a hat pretty similar to the first one for the last couple of seasons. Works great. Just dont wash it and the salt will keep it going Just tighten in strong wind and when in the waves. Heaps of guys using them now. Most popular surf wear companies now make them. Must have something to do with the ageing population of surfers and wind surfers
You can actually sew a strap onto any hat - those surf hats can cost like 30 bucks or more! But they do stay on better.
I tried a baseball cap once and when I finished sailing my face and neck had got too much sun; I felt like I'd been bbq'd. The round brim is better, as long as it's not too long that it gets in your eyes...
I recently bought a hat similar to the second one from my local surf shop. The brand is "peak". Paid about $25 Had to cut off the little rivet/button on the top as it pushed an indentation into the monofilm of my sail when carrying my kit on my head. Good quality material with chin strap and mesh ear covers. Only problem is the visor flips up and back when sailing over 30 knots.
Legionnaires cap $12 from any disposals store, use a bootlace and a plastic adjustment thingo off your sailbag for chinstrap. also comes in flouro pink for kiters
