mine for boating/fishing, and now is the preferred flying hat. That long
bill does wonders to block just the sun, but leaves a very wide field of view.
No tendency to come off, ever – unless the wind speed starts to approach
40mph, and you tip your head up while facing into the wind. And you’ve
got that safety strap. And at that wind speed, the last thing you care getting
back easily is the hat…….</span></font></p>

often surprised at what comes out of this list, thus the off-beat question. Is
there a favorite large-brim hat in use to block out the sun? I've been
