righto, i think i'd look like a plum if i wore a buff or a bandana or whatever so i need a new ball cap i think. i don't want to look like an extra off skins either, so none of these multi-coloured silly patterned monstrosities would work.
anyone got any suggestions for (possibly bike-related) caps? CRC have a couple of reasonable looking 661 hats; i'm just looking around a bit first. some of the older sombrio ones are okayish too...
well?

May I suggest something that shades the back of your neck too:

Very comfortable, very cool (physically, if not fashionably...).

Gotta love this country.

1/2" of snow = blizzard, 17C = sunstroke.

As a baldy i wear a buff on me noggin when on the bike, as it covers back of my neck as well.

Failing that:

I know, I was merely offering a suitable alternative!

+1 for the panama with TJ

Buy one you can roll up and stash it in your backpack.

Tilley hats
One was eaten [b]three[/b] times by an elephant in a zoo in LA. the owner waited till it came out so to speak, washed it it and wore it.
mines has had nothing more than a few hours floating about in various salt waters where I've dropped it and it still works for me.
