large brim hats?

[spbyrum]

It's the flying too high that triggers the hat.  As the head tips past
60 degrees, the brim begins to contact the back of your shoulders.  At
about 75 degrees, there is just enough pressure to loosed the hat.  The
huge gust which removes the hat comes just as you enter previously
mentioned dreaded maneuver.

I agree with Steve....check out Cracker Barrell...I bought one last year
just for flying...Really  nice soft hats that actually fit my big
...uuuh.....med. size head (grin). They don't seem  to blow off as easy
as the wide brim straw ones.

I left out the part about how it blows off in the middle of the maneuver
you fear the most so you're flying REALLY high in the middle of the
round you really need because of the 25 mph quartering gusting cross
wind.  Ball cap is a useful backup for this situation.  Use the hat when
not flying.

Cracker Barrel occasionally has a large brimmed hat with mesh sides and
a cloth crown in their gift shops.  Cost is around $20.

Hi All, 

I'm often surprised at what comes out of this list, thus the off-beat
question.  Is there a favorite large-brim hat in use to block out the
sun?  I've been using a beach hat at times (brim slopes down around the
circle, not a flat brim).  I need a new one. 

Thanks, 
Jim
