I appreciate that! I hope you enjoy the hat!

Thanks Scott. Great review.

I have a T3 that I purchased 22 years ago. It’s looking very rough and weather beaten, but still does the job. It might be time to retire it and get a replacement and I’ve been looking at the T3 Wanderer. Great review.

Been wanting this one ! I’ve had probably 4-5 Tilley hats n have 3 now ! Some of the best. This is what they needed a more flexible hat you could crush n all!! Tilley in modern era yeaaa

Thank you for making this, really helped me with my purchase of the T3 Wanderer. :D

Great to hear! Thanks for checking it out!

Have an LTM6 and my daughter has a T3 cotton duck, my mum has a LTM5 and now just purchased the T3 wanderer for my husband. Your video has influenced all four purchases. Thank you so much.

That is fantastic! We have been so impressed with the brand. Since this video came out we've gotten a few more including the kid's hat for our 5 year old. So glad we were able to help provide some information!

Great review, thank you 😊

I just got mine today, and I've been wearing it with the badge in front. I wondered why it would make a difference. I turned it around and tucked the back strap under the chin strap like you have to do to wear it with the badge in back. I t makes all the difference in the world wearing it correctly with the badge in back. When you tighten the chin strap, the head strap tightens at the same time automatically, so THAT'S why you wear the T 3 with the badge/log/tag in the back.

Thanks very much great review, have the t3 now for 6 months , doing different activities in the highlands of Scotland , been bashed soaked etc, very robust, & retains shape after washing 👍

Hey, not sure if you'll see this 3 years on, but I'm looking for a good hat to keep the rain off the back of my neck in the Highlands on long hikes. Can you recommend this hat?

I hate spending money and $80 bucks seems like a lot to me, but I’ve heard good things about Tilley. This review was very convincing. A purchase is probably in my near future.

Just bought my T3 Wanderer in Olive today. Cant wait for the many years of enjoyable times with it. And to those that might be worried mine was made in Canada, not China! Thanks for this review.

Are you happy with it? I’m picking the same hat up tomorrow

I really love this hat and think it is going to last a LONG time! Do you have any experience with Tilley hats or another brand you love?

Have you looked at the Shelta Seahawk? I like the Seahawk and the Condor. You can add a sun shade on the back, remove the chin strap if not needed and they are a cool boonie style like the T3. the Shelta hats float, have screens in the gromets and will stay on your head a 50 MPH. Hat are a style thing though so most people are picking hats for style and function.

Hi Scott, just finished watching your review of the T3 Wanderer. I was wondering if you made a follow up video of the hat after last year's camping season and what your impressions were. Thanks!

Coming soon! We're hoping to release it this week. There have been new additions to the Tilley collection here :D Short answer though, I still LOVE the Wanderer.

Congratulations on your purchase. You have made a very nice review of the product. I would only comment on one thing that I disagree with. I used to store the wind cords in the secret pocket, but I soured on it over time. I found it to be more hassle than it's really worth. The hook and loop / Velcro extends over most of the secret pocket's closure, so it is possible to thread the cords into the pocket around it, but more often than not they tend to catch--and after awhile your cords will start looking tattered from all the snags. The T3 Wanderer has a broken in feel from the factory, so maybe that's what you're looking for in the image you will be projecting, but many other Tilley models are a little more formal and upscale in their appearance, and it doesn't look the part when the cords become ratty looking from Velcro snags.

Thank you! I really do love the hat. I've only had to remove and use the front wind cord a few times and with more frequent and long term use I can absolutely see how it would become cumbersome and start damaging the cord. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us all. I will likely stop storing the cord there! I'm looking at my next Tilley hat to have that more formal and upscale look. Any suggestions? LTM6 has been on my list for awhile now, but with winter coming up sooner than I'd like, the Montana is another I'm eyeing.

@@BlackberryHillHouseTilley claims that LTM6 is their top seller, which is likely why there are so many color choices. If you fall in love with one of the colors, then it's probably best to follow your heart. There is much about the LTM6 to like. It packs very well--so long as you are careful of the wire in the brim. Try to keep the wire as flat as possible, but you can mash-up the rest of it without penalty. I have a Navy one that I purchased about 5 years ago. I've packed it, and it's been with me in Lake Michigan swimming. It still looks as good as the day that I purchased it. The problem with it is that it has a very floppy brim which does not perform so well in the wind where I live in Michigan, as well as for the activities that I like to do. My preference is for the TH5 hemp model for a formal looking offering from Tilley. Based on the positive reactions that I get from people, it's my personal favorite in my collection. I have the natural color, although they also offer mocha and olive. Hemp is a very strong fiber, and the hat will last a long time. The TH5 has been around for a long time in the Tilley catalog because it's a great hat.

Thank you for the insights! A flimsy brim is something I've always dislike about my previous (non Tilley) hats. I'll need to find a local place and check out the LTM6 in person to see how flimsy that brim is and if it has a place in my collection. I haven't looked at the TH5 yet, so I definitely will.

Great review! From what I've read the Tilley Badge/Patch/Logo goes to the back? A bit counter-intuitive, I wanted to put it at the front, but I believe it goes at the back. Hope I'm right!

He did indeed end up getting another hat, so did I! We also got one for the little kiddo, he LOVES it. I'm not much for purses, I do have a few camera bags! lol ~K

I got mine today, but unfortunately it was to small. I have usually size 7 1/8 so I ordered the T3 in 7 3/8. much to small. probably wrong labeled from factory because the TM6 in 7 1/4 fits perfect.

Is the t3 wanderer thinner than the regular t3? It says its both of duck cotton, but the wanderer looks thinner. Would love to hear :)

Hi Older and Wiser Have you tried to take a flat wet sponge into the secret pocket to cool down in hot weather conditions? I soaked up my boonie with water in summer, and it kept my head cool. I realy like the style of your hat, and think about to get one. thanks for your rewiev and greetings from germany.

They store in the top pocket very nicely and I don't even know they are there! I've actually been using the small back strap most of the time and only using the front chin strap when it gets windy. It has been super nice to be able to have them out of the way when not needed!

Hello, I would like to buy the wanderer but I see that I am told to take a size above my usual size, should I do it? Did you test the Filson brand hats? good continuation :)

Hi there! Use the Tilley Hat sizing (www.tilley.com/us_en/how-to/how-to-fit-your-hat) and I think you'll be ok. I was just a little shy of the size I selected and it fits almost perfectly. I have not tried the Filson brand yet, but I'll look into it!

Would you recommend this or the ltm6 hat? (For fishing)

I have both. I wear the LTM6 in really hot weather because it really is lighter and much cooler. It also has a wider brim and gives great sun protection. The T3 wanderer is a heavier hat and a little warmer. I love both of them.

Stupid question???? Which way is the front.?? The tilley tag goes in the back?

Not at all! On this model, the leather tag goes in the back. Tilley says to hold your hat in front of you and if the tag inside is right side up then you're putting it on correctly!

Looks like an Aussey bushcraft hat.

The only way putting the brim up on either of both sides would improve your peripheral vision, would be if you had eyes where your ears are, and you were looking up.

I have one of these on order but it may take a long time to get it since Tilley is backed up right now making masks for the plague.

I own 6 Tilley hats and love every one of them. I have the LTM6 Airflow, 2 T3 cotton duck, LTM3 Airflow, T3 Wanderer and an LT6 circa 1972. You really should get an LTM6 Airflow.

@@HKX_ORANGECHICKEN It depends on what you are looking for in a hat. I live in a subtropical environment and the LTM6 is light and awesome on ventilation. I do a lot of photography and I like the soft bendable brim of the LTM6. With that said, I do think the brim is too soft for strong winds. It bends in the wind and the sun protection I want is not there at that time. I ware my T3 wanderer when hiking, fishing or any other outdoor sports where my hat can get demolished. I don't think one is "better than the other", I think they are both great hats with different applications. You can't go wrong with either.
