Hat no. 1 doesnt exactly look cool !
Hat no.2 really hurts your head after about an hour of wearing it, I find this with all baseball caps they sort of feel tight even if you have it in a loose fit.
So what can you recommend that looks cool and doesn't feel restricting ?
Kangol bamboo (made from bamboo fibre, lightweight and full of tiny holes so very breathable but keep sun off)
Just picked up an official TdF Grand Depart Yorkshire flat cap. £20 and looks nice. All black with black stitching
I love my Tilly, but I don't think it is cool. Bloody awesome come rain or shine, comfy and about 14 years or so after purchase I am beginning to believe their outrageous durability claims.
But no, not cool...
Tilly LT6B lightweight. So light you barely notice it. Had mine for years.

END OF THREAD, nothing further required!
I personally favour the 6-panel duckbill cloth cap:

Has all the advantages of the baseball cap, ie keeping the sun out of your eyes, rain off your glasses, but much more stylish.

^^^ This one.
Mine is the cloth 8-panel driving cap by Ben Shearman from TK Maxx which I think I paid £5 for and it looks like the 6-panel duckbill cap.
Imitate this dude! 😆

Been wearing my Rapha cycling cap whilst out on the fells, it's perfect.
Try Prendas for a normal cotton cycling cap.

Sounds about right, mine's 14 this year too 🙂
I've got one of these. Very stylish.

That's a beautiful thing, annebr.
If you like the cap style, and I'm presuming you do, try the Montane Robo Cap. It's bungy fastened and is quite large and very adjustable. I find it quite comfortable and have been wearing mine all weekend whilst working and didn't suffer any head pain but then I have a pin head. Are you the opposite...?
Thanks Dez 🙂
Spooky - my Tilley is 14 too! Still worn every summer. If sir prefers the cap style, Patagonia did a lightweight one for running. May still do.
These cover all my hat requirements.
