I have one like the OP’s wide brim version. The brim does flop around when I’m going over about 20mph. Lost a couple of hats till I got this one with the chinstrap (cord? Whatever).

That is what I used to do, just had 2 pre-cancer spots frozen off on Thursday. Going to a big hat now.

These are pricey but it has a nice bill and ear/neck protection. https://www.sheltahats.com/?aff=5

I am thinking about trying one of these for my wife and I but haven't yet. I wear a baseball cap with a buff around my neck and (sometimes pulled up) a hooded HUK ICON long sleeved shirt.

Had the same hat for 7 years until I wore the material through on top from carrying. Has the chin strap if it gets windy and wuhan proof.

Found these on Facebook. Took a flyer on them. Loved the hat so much I bought the gloves and face mask. Great hat. Don’t want for anything more.

When we go down to Mexico where that sun seems more brutal, a Tilley is hard to beat.
I do have some of those Simms Gaiters that combined with a baseball cap are really good.
I used to wear a lot of Buffs but the Gaiter seems to stay put better and have breathing holes.
As far as hats go..... Tilley all the way.

I have kind of a love/hate relationship with hats in general. I like to wear them. And when fishing, they're kind of a necessity. But sometimes they just feel uncomfortable and I find myself monkeying with my hat constantly like I have a nervous tic. Given these circumstances, I find myself trying different hats all the time to find the perfect combination of coolness (both literally and figuratively), comfort, and sun protection. I run around with a ball cap on most of the time when I do wear a hat, but on long days of fishing, I've gone to the wide brim style like this: ![[Linked Image]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51T70ittkUL._SY355_.jpg) Two things I don't like about it: catches wind like a kite, too much floppy brim. I'm thinking of trying out the Gilligan look now: ![[Linked Image]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51uZ9qQFGSL._SY355_.jpg) So, what's your favorite kind of hat for fishing, for those who are conscious of sun protection factor, comfort, and whatever? I just got one like your top pic. I wear it when I fish, mow, give kicking/punting lessons, walking properties. My ears would be toast all the time, This thing is great my ears don't hurt my face isn't red all the time and I just generally feel cooler. I didn't know what I was missing all these years.

My Uncle (Sam) gave me a hat like this before one of the trips he sent me on to a sunny spot in the Middle East (I actually did a little carp fishing while I was there). It's my official kayak fishing hat because- it was free, it keeps the sun off my face, neck and ears, and it covers my bald spot. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/05/full-111272-51140-310fbclkg4l._ac_ux466_.jpg)

I have the plain original Sunday Afternoons adventure hat and it's currently my favorite for sun protection. If I was buying a new one, I'd get the Ultra Adventure Storm Hat. It's waterproof but breathable.

Look like good quality sun protection gear going to look at it pretty hard for sure. Pricey indeed but I'm going to order one. Love my PFG booney hats BUT I cannot put up with the flopping brim when it gets windy...and as y'all know, it's windy quite a lot in north Texas. I end up taking off the booney hat and just wearing a baseball cap which does not provide the coverage from the sun that I would prefer for my neck and ears. I'm gonna splurge as it's a safety item and try one of these.
