    I have a Tilley hat, one of the best purchases I ever made for going outdoors

    Great review. I like a hiking hat that has all the "ables" (washable, foldable, and breathable) So cool to see you out in the woods again.

    I'm a huge hat fan, so I'm quite happy to see they're offered in Man sizes. (7 3/4 and larger - I'm a 7 7/8 or an 8) $100 for a nice hat isn't bad - especially when you have a large head and often have to resort to custom-made hats.

    So glad you are back! Only you can do a video on hats and make it interesting! Love that you are hiking again, keep the videos coming. Nice trail you were on, beautiful forest.

    You can adjust the cord so it is more secure to your head in windy conditions. I've been a fan of the LTM6 for years.

    Great review! I've been curious about that hat - to the point that I'm tempted to gift one to my brother. It looks great, coverage as good as a Seattle Sombrero, but for warmer weather. Your new hairstyle should be even better for a hot weather hike! Hope you get a chance to get out for a trip.

    Thanks for the quality video of the hat. Mine arrived in the post today and I was initially disappointed with the unstructured floppiness of the lightweight material on the top. However it’s growing on me now. I may have chosen a size too small because I can only get two fingers under the brim if I pull out the brim with my other hand. I bought it chiefly for fishing so it may work out but for a sweaty hike a tight hat would be a disaster. Thanks again, subscribing.

    "Gear geek edition" I LOVE IT! Can't wait for more!! Hook us up with a sleep system one? I'm struggling to pull the trigger on my bag/quilt. Got the NeoAir pad & sastified, but the bag vs. the quilt...UGH! Would LOVE to hear your thoughts!

    I have a Tilley with a large brim, love it. And it looks good on me. I also waxed ith with Beeswax to waterproof it. It also helps shape the hat too!

    No worries. Canada is our northern back country neighbor. We're glad for you folks up there, which is probably why we feel comfortable giving you so much guff. Either way, nice hat. 🤠

    I have several friends that love their Tilley Hats. I am so short that most wide-brimmed hats hit my pack at the back, unless I am using a day pack or frameless pack; that makes me sad. Me want a Tilley Hat! For a hat with a life-time guarantee, $100 is not that much. I really like this video. This hat has so many features that I was not even aware of.

    Haha..no body in sight. My hat story.. I gave my Tilley to Cathy because it was tight for me..she said she'd buy me a Tilley that was one size larger and green in colour because she preferred green on me.. A month later I was hiking the AT and gave 20 dollars to students thru hiking so they could buy some pizza at Partnership shelter area.. The next day I found a green Tilley that was the exact size for me and it had 25 dollars in the lid area of the hat! True story.

    Hats are more than just something to wear.... sentimental attachment is a big deal for me.....my mentor was Colin Fletcher of British decent trans posed to San Fransisco, Ca....he wore a wide brim felt hat and thus I adopted that with a very effective modification that I learned in the Marines.....apply shellac and thus the hat became water proof... Glad to see the knee is doing well....

    If you pull the excess chin cord strap through the eyelit so it's tight under your chin and back of hat it won't be going anywhere in the wind

    I've had my Tilley for about 2 yrs now. Because my head is shaved, I wear a ball cap dailey. I decided to purchase a wide brim hat once my son and I started to get back into hiking. I was going to purchase an OR or Columbia , but REI had a 20% off sale and with my points made the $85 cost a lot more manageable. While the other hats were nice I do think the Tilleys is nicer. I have the AirFlow TM6 model(not sure of the differences). I have to agree, the hat is super comfortable, breathable and protects my bald head nicely. It has gotten nasty after a few sweaty hikes, but is like new after being thrown into the washer. Thanks for the review and glad to see you back in the saddle. Take care
