I will be wearing my Panama Jack hat . I have to keep my head covered now when I'm going out .

Baseball hat when active, walking dogs etc. and a cheap straw hat when lazing around in the garden.

A bandana or a buff.

I started doing that after not thinking of it on holiday once and burning stripes onto my scalp through the ventilation slots of a cycling helmet!

Are you trying to start a debate about helments ?

A baseball cap, with the peak facing backwards, or maybe to the side if I'm feeling particularly jaunty.

1) panama
2) cricket hat with stiff green underbrim
3) pith helmet - but I've been threatened with divorce if I ever wear it in public in Mrs PP's presence.
4) quite fancy a boater - what so folks think ?

1) No Tilleys
2) No trilbys
3) No flat caps

Why are you wearing this summer to keep your bald head free from burning and to provide refreshing mobile shade in the heat of the noon?[/QUOTE]
And what about you?

German army flecktarn cap. Mrs D hates it.

A leather hat I bought in Sydney last year, or maybe my Amazon tarp hat. I've got a "lemon squeezer" for when I go to Scout camp.

A leather hat I bought in Sydney last year...

That'll keep the sun off.

And the chain would be useful for locking ones bicycle. It's win-win!

We should be promoting this kind of gear as ideal cycling kit. Waterproof, crash resistant, secure, the perfect clobber.

Sorry, hats are for poseurs, especially when worn abroad.
