The Best Summer Hat? Tilley LTM5 Airflow Hat Review by Wildcraft Britain

Спорт

Andy has owned a LTM5 for a number of years and rates it highly. The nylon construction and air vent allow the hat to breath and makes it an excellent summer companion. That said, Andy uses his hat in all seasons, using a wool Buff to provide added insulation. It works well in the rain too, especially when treated with Nikwax TX direct. Due to its age and heavy use, Andy has washed his hat a number of times, using Nikwax techwash. Careful drying restores the shape. Not only is it a great hill, moor and mountain hat, its a great one for forest walking and bushcraft. Made in Canada too, so you know the workers will be treated fair as will the environment. This is apparent in the quality construction and finish. The guarantee is second to none. It lasts the life of the garment and its well worth registering the hat after purchase. All told, its a great hat and one you never regret owning.
One more thing to consider is fitting. This must be done correctly, to ensure the right fit and is looser than you might expect. We would always recommend spending time getting the right fit and any good stockist will be able to help and advise on the correct fit.

    I'm sold. I already own two other style Tilley hats, and your video convinced me to buy the LTM5 as well.

    Great review bud! My dad is looking for a new hat, I have the T5MO and adore it, but I said to check out the LTM5 too. It looks great man, very similar to mine, but mine is cotton. Lovely scenery there! I miss the mountains now, must go! Cheers, Donny.

    Hi Tim, given how they are made, what from and the guarantee, they are not expensive IMO, but premium, (an important distinction- a sweat shop produced hat that falls apart and is uncomfortable form the go set it expensive)- Its still my go-to hat and I ware it all the time, will be using it this weekend to walk the Lyke Wake Walk, (the third time its done it)- just make sure you get the right fit, that's essential- like all good clothing, its an investment that pays off- Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy

    Thanks for watching, glad you liked it- the sunglasses are an old pair of Julbo ones, I couldn't tell you the model- they make excellent outdoor eye-ware and they have served me well. The rope is a Hide by Buff, an absolutely excellent product, but sadly one they don't make anymore, (and I have never found a similar one). Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy

    Looks great but I need one for heat and rain like for tropical areas ? Does the mesh/vent make it so that when it rains it gets your head wet ?

    Not that I have noticed ☺️ I use nikwax and it’s the best hat in rain I have owned (and I’ve owned waterproof ones that get very sweaty)- so while they are not fit storms they shed a shower well in my experience (as long as it’s proofed)- enjoy your outdoors time ☺️🏕🌀

    Have you done any multiday packs with the ltm5? I'm curious as to whether the back of the hat rubs against a fully loaded and cinched pack when turning your head to the side?

  • @WildcraftBritain

    @WildcraftBritain

    5 жыл бұрын

    No, I don't think I have. Most of my backpacking is Autumn/Winter, so while I walk in those seasons with it, its not versitile/light enough to make the load in backpacking. Its the shorter brim, so I guess it depends on how your bags are packed etc. I would defo take it in spring summer, but I just don't tend to go then. Enjoy your outdoors time, Andy

    Yeah, the stores around here only have the ltm6 and when I tried that on with a full pack it seemed like it was too long and would get it in the way, so I was curious if the ltm5 is short enough to solve that problem. My guess is that it will be, thanks for the insight and happy trails!
