Does anybody own/wear one of these...
Discussion
Going away for a long weekend camping next week and quite fancy one of these. Last year it was sunny so i took my battered and well travelled Panama but i fear the weather will be less clement this year.
Plus i think it might get used a bit when i start shooting a bit more in the autumn (not posh driven days by the way

Ive one, side is kind of netting, to allow your head to breathe.
Cant think of the make, made in new zealand, i contacted the company direct and they sent one over, at the time there was no one in the uk that sold them.
Love it, sad I know,
I'm not entirely convinced that a NZ made hat would have an Australian badge on the side of it.Cant think of the make, made in new zealand, i contacted the company direct and they sent one over, at the time there was no one in the uk that sold them.

Something that's puzzled me for ages:- why would anyone in Great Britain, one the wettest countries in the world, think that rainwear from Australia, one of the driest places on earth, would be better than a home grown brand? Serious question - just seems daft!
try about 7 minutes in.Remembered where mine came from, this lot

Thanks.
I've been looking for a hat for ages - something wide-brimmed to keep the sun / rain off without looking too 'Crocodile Dundee'.
The Tilley TH5 fits the bill perfectly.
IIRC there came a leaflet with the hat recording anecdotes of it's indestructibility challenging you to leave it in your will, the one that sticks in the mind is about an elephant who ate it's keepers Tilly, the keeper then found the hat when nature had taken it's course, washed it - thoroughly - and found it none the worse.I've been looking for a hat for ages - something wide-brimmed to keep the sun / rain off without looking too 'Crocodile Dundee'.
