    Bucket hat

    What bucket/wide brimmed hat are people using in hot weather. Looking for something that will breathe.

    Any feedback appreciated.

    I have a Hunters Element bucky that is orange on one side and cammo on the other. It's my go too because of the orange. and I can flick the sides up for sports mode. Also, a Huntech hat. but I find the rim of the hat too floppy.

    Bucket hat

    Woven straw is the king of summer hats. Light, breathable. Plantation, rice paddy’s and beach specialties .

    Bucket if your carrying a pack though.

    I just rock these boonie hats for me and kids. They're comfy to wear, can be folded up and relatively cheap.

    Been using a Macpac Legionaires hat but found on this last trip out this week that it needs a brim and not just a peak.

    Kuiu boonie is good. I find a brimmed hat good in the bush as you can block out the skyline and see better in the bush without any glare.
