I had a straw Stetson 8X for 5 years or so. It stood up to multiple dunkings in fresh and saltwater as well as all kinds of other stuff. I have now moved to a nice custom made palm leaf hat(not nearly broken in yet). The only downside to a cowboy hat is that taller packs will bump the back of them. Other then that I think they are great outdoors hats. You cant beat a ball cap either.
