For years I have worn Baseball style Caps when boating. I liked the
long brim and the fact that if it actually blew off and I could not turn
the boat around quick enough, it was not too expensive to replace.

I have since found out they don't work well when taking photographs. I
am looking at the Tilley Hats (LT3 or LT6) as a new hat that will work
when I have a camera stuck to my nose. Does anyone have any
recommendations for a light weight, cool (not hot) hat that does not get
in the way when taking photos?

I've had Tilley hats for years, but they are NOT cool to wear. They can be
soaked in water, and that makes quite an improvement in terms of comfort.

I understand they now sell some that are lighter than their traditional
models, but I have no experience with these.

This one won't blow off and will serve you well if you want to take a
swim.

You could always do what most of us do. Move the hat a bit aft when
shooting?

Yours might be more appropriate for Smithereen.

Butch,

If I turn the cap high enough to get it out of the way, it falls off. I
have had to turn my baseball cap backwards to get it out of the way,
which looks too urban from me and does not protect me from the sun.

I have had a natural coloured canvas T3 with green underside for more
years than I can remember. This is my sailing hat...but the larger brim
tends to flop up in windy conditions.
Although it looks slightly goofy. the two tie-ons work great..and when
wet the canvas stiffens up and sheds rain pretty well.

I bought a 'dressier' LT5 to wear to work...but the so called 'tropical
weight' nylon fabric is too warm for nova Scotia weather...let alone
south of the border. keeps it's shape better than my older T3 and
because it's khaki, doesn't show sweat stains.

Don,
So you prefer the T3 because the LT5 is too heavy? Those are suppossed
to be the lightweight models. Is it too warm because it doesn't
breathe? I think I would prefer the cotton or hemp models if they are
not too heavy.
