Frillneck, araphat style hat, you can velcro front right up to keep out sun and bugs or leave it open for drink access.
Mine stays on even at full speed (55-60kph).

I'm with you Dmaster
I really like my Frillneck haven't been burnt since i got. and it stays on at WOT.

It depends if you want to keep the sun off your entire head or just ¼ of your face. Baseball caps are useless.
Any wide brimmed hat works well.

I've been thru about 6 straw hats but they die very quickly when wet.
The latest I've found is a canvas akubra type/
The frillnecks are good till you spit :bonk:

Ive never been able to get the beaver style ones to fit properly

Biff,what im saying is how much sun does a baseball cap keep off your ears/neck but some think its all about the look but thats ok :mrgreen:

personally I wear the Araphat type thingy you can velcro the front up & get no sun at all & they dont blow off very easy ( but my boats not fast).

hate hats, but will wear a straw hat while fishing.
i got a fat head, so the larger sized hats work better on my melon

I had a Frillneck for 4 years, excellent hat. As stated previously, they stay on really well and top protection. I have now changed to a cap and "Buff" neck/face cover - so far I am really happy with it. A bit cooler than the Frillneck but the same level of protection and in some areas, better protection.

Though, I had better not go too near to any visiting Navy ships in the harbour as I think I may get shot - you look like a bl..dy terrorist in the thing.

Cheers,

i don't mind these mask jobbies with a trucker cap(mesh back baseball cap), plenty of air flow - better protection than the straw ones and you dont feel like you've got a toilet seat on your head.......

Called a Buff, very light stretches over your head, if you feel its too hot I sometimes wear it on the lower half of my face, so i dont get burnt on the neck .

If its too hot dip er in the water, it'll hold enough to cool you off without soaking you.

Get em form BCF, called a "Buff" about $15 or so.

Recommended, if you want a straw hat, Bunnings have em for about $9 I think pretty good ones ...once theyve been stood on n fallen on a couple of times throw it away n get another.

Basball caps....they're for Yanks ...useless unless your into the fashion stakes.....then maybe you should be wearing your Cap sideways & ya pants back wards....Dude !

Dont actually wear a hat. no point in it here. sun bounces off the water harsher than the actual sun beating down on you..

Agree, I wear a cap with a Buff. cant get burnt if the sun cant get to your skin. Also stops the cap blowing off.
Straw hat next if dont feel like wearing buff

akubra for me. black cowboy style.

anyone who wears an araphat is a terrorist.
they even have a nice strap on the back of them to tie the camel too.
