Hat info
 

Several years ago someone on this group posted a recommendation about
a fishing hat called: " The Ultimate Fishing Hat" followed by the
maker's name. My hat, unfortunately, now resides in a lake in Ontario.
I have searched Google but can find no reference to this hat. If
anyone here was around several years ago, maybe you can help me.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

Tilley. They even have foam in the top so they can float. Broad
brim, straps designed to stay on in a 60 kt wind and a lifetime
warranty.

Its Frank and right now its 2 degrees with a windchill of -23. We are
snowed in, now plows to be seen and we have 300 hundred yards of 2-4
foot drifts before we can get out. Oh, tonight it gets really cold,
down to -14 with 40 below windchill.
TN sounds good right about now.

I agree about the Tilley hats Love mine. I have two ( one too
many, but I got the second, mesh, one for the hottest weather ) which
is about 6 lifetimes worth. They ARE tough ... wash em often like
they tell you to.

A NOTE ... read their sizing suggestions ... you want it bigger and
looser than you might think .. it should NOT 'grip' your head just
rest on it, use the chin strap in a wind

+1 for the Tilley. I have the model with the 2 or so inches of mesh at
the top. I think they call it the LTM6. Great hat.

They say elephants love 'em :-)

"Elephant trainer Michael Hackenberger of the Bowmanville (Ontario)
Zoo, had his Tilley Hat snatched from his head and eaten by an
elephant. Three times. Michael later would find and pick up his Hat,
wash it thoroughly, and wear it. He had declined to accept a new
Tilley Hat in order that we may have his well-traveled Tilley for our
museum. (We were secretly pleased!)" Alex Tilley, Ontario

Shoot! And here I thought Bill was talking about Republicans. d;o)

I love mine, a gift from one of the kids after many hints by me. It's
better than the traditional ball cap.

Never owned a Tilley hat. But I've seen them, and I've worn them.
Never looked at the owners manual either. But I know that an "owners
manual" ain't necessarily the same thing as an "instruction manual."
Four pages may be filled with "how to" advice.....or they may not. I
wouldn't know.

That said, four pages on how to wear a hat seems rather much to me.
Is that all there is in the owner's manual?

g.
who just adores having authorities on tap to query.

Owners manual is more on the level of stories about the hat and
configurations on the straps. 4 page, but those pages are 2"X3".
