Best Rain Hat?

[Alan]

I went out on the lyndoch fully wrapped up today with my Sunderland waterproof suit and loved it, bone dry when I was finished apart from my head where my Taylormade Cap was soaked through. I'm thinking of buying a bucket style waterproof hat and I'm wondering what the best one is ?

Any recommendations?

have an under armour one which works fine, big advantage is it has a drawstring which makes the fit adjustable

I have a Mizuno 'bucket hat' and like all their wet weather gear it does what its meant to do... Keep the rain out!

MadAdey got a Galvin Green one at Woodall earlier in the year. It worked well for him and kept whoever was stood near him dry too.

I have a Lowe Mountain Cap you can buy them in all good outdoor shops, waterproof, fleece lined and toasty on my baldy napper!

good question, fed up of rain doon the back of the neck, or pouring off the cap onto the ball when putting.

are bucket jobs the only option?

Won't stop the drip from hat onto/near ball when putting but will tend to keep rain from back of neck. Cross jackets have an elasticated collar that does a great job in that department - and GG ones have improved, in this regard, recently too I believe.

I have a Goretex 'flaps down over ears' cap that has served me wll in bad rain.

Prefer a cap as glasses weare. Can pull the peak down and keep a lot of my bins

I had a purple fedora that did a pretty good job. It's long gone, and can I find a replacement?

iv seen ping, galvin green and under armour waterproof skip caps, under armour/ping one is about £15 from ebay. galvin green is about £30 i think, galvin green buckets are about £40 odds,

I got a Callaway bucket hat from fleabay for about a fiver. I wear gigs to play golf and it does just as well as a cap. My head after tuesday was nice and dry although I had to wring out my trousers and socks.

Already had the Aura on my Christmas list, with the weather lately may be getting an early pressie.
