    ~ $15 I like this Sloggers 4471DB Classic Cotton Hat



    I prefer this hat. Fits well but no chin strap, so might not stand up to heavy winds. ~ $40

      LMAO I'm sure that thing works like a champ to keep you cool on a hot day but idk how you can shoot straight while wearing it! I'd be giggling so hard to myself and shaking so hard I'd never hit a target! It's ridiculous looking! if it's so hot outside that a regular ball cap isn't enough I'm sure as hell not going shooting, I'll be in a pool sipping suds!

                I don't wear hats often, but I got a couple of those for hiking. Pricey but as good as it gets.

                  Another vote for a surplus Marine Corp/Army boonie hat. Lightweight, comfortable and inexpensive.

                    Great choice if your going for 100% SPF. But how do you spell heatstroke?

                    Haha! mine has chin strap. And by the way, are you always in prone position when you shoot there since it so windy that your target stands get knock down.

                        I like the ventilated hats that cover the ears and neck. For my hunting trip to South Africa, I bought:

                        Henschel Men's Hiker Crushable Mesh Breezer UPF 50+ Hat Price: $23.14

                        It worked great!

                          Tilley hat for sure. Gotta have a full brim to protect the neck. Get the vented nylon ones they're durable lightweight and washable. Cotton ball caps soak up the sweat and build up that funky white crust. Tried the ones with capes and found them to make me hotter under the capes.
