Rich, if you are serious about a hat and not interested in all the BS that has been presented here so far I have the hat for you. In two Cobras now, I have over 80,000 miles , driving in wind, rain,hail,snow, dust storms, etc. The very best hat is one found at a sporting goods store named "Big 5" They are here in Tucson and Phoenix, I don't know about other areas. The hat is made for hikers, it has a longer than normal brim, also the brim is wider than normal, it goes from ear to ear, unlike the normal baseball hat. There is a chin strap that is located on the hat brim just in front of the ear. This location is excellent because it holds the hat on at all times, I have driven at 110 mph + while wearing the hat and it just stays put. For me here in the southwest, it is important to have some protection for the ears from the sun. The hat includes a shroud which velcros to the hat in the back and on both sides. Currently I am on my 4th hat because of my persperation which causes stains on the sweat band. The dishwasher can only wash it so many times. Ask anyone who saw me at the FFR Open House or the LCS this year and they surely saw the hat laying on my shifter. The shroud is a wonderful item because it can be removed in about three seconds and reinstalled in about ten seconds. It covers the ears, back of the neck and the side of your face. My cheeks, nose, lips, and chin are the only expose things. It also provides some sound deadening. The only color that it comes in is a light tan. The cost has remained the same for the last six years, $14.95. If you would like to try one I'll be glad to buy one and send it to you, if you don't like it send it back to me, if you like it, then send me the cost. John Ph.# 520-825-9197
