Help with baseball type caps

[Nakano 2]

I love my Filson but it may be a bit warm for Central America. I was looking a UA caps for the wicking feature.

Second that. I can' t wear oil or wax treated caps- my head bakes in them-even in the cold weather. For ball cap types, I have recently gone to UnderArmour for all 4 seasons! Most of the ones I have are of 4 way stretch material that is breathable and easy to wash up and dry. Certain models have a velcroed tab back for easy adjustment. Other are with wicking elastic band all around. And come in a few sizes. For those who wonder about the winter, I do have a thick 4 way stretch polyster fleece model with fold up/ down ear flaps! It is the Cold Gear model- snugly warm.

If you' re planning on going into the woods, there is a Nike brand ballcap that I' ve seen recently that uses a stretch canvas cloth material and a full wicking band. It feels strong enough. But I haven' t tried it. You can find this and all types UnderArmour at most Marshalls and sister company TJ Maxx. And at real good prices.

i like hats with a full brim for outdoor activities

i have an old kangaroo hat from australia, it is very durable and cooler then baseball type hats. i wear it all day flyfishing in hot weather. i also like tilley hats but always manage to screw up the tying system on them

outdoor research/underarmor etc all make lightweight hats, I prefer ones can be folded up and easily put in a pocket/pack

i forgot about NY hat company hats. lots of vintage styles but i used to wear the "military" style often in summer. close fitting and thin with some vents. i liked it because they were easy to fold and stuff in my back pocket. http://www.newyorkhatco.com/item-details.php?GID=678&CATID=8# that should get you to them.

The Filson cap is great but you would be much more comfortable in an Under Armor fitted cap. Get it dirty, rinse it off and keep going.

Thanks for all the help guys. I bought a Filson cover cloth. I am also taking a Tilley with a brim and a cotton baseball cap. That should do it.

I know you've already made your selection, but the most comfortable cap I've ever owned is the Pearl Izumi Victory Lid. Now it may not be as tough as a waxed cotton, but I've been wearing the same for about 2 years without issue. Breathes like a dream though!
