Over my many years on the water ive used many different types of hats.
Living in the sunshine state has advantages, but also disadvantages due to the high incidence of skin issues which can of coarse become quite serious.
Recently while watching videos on Youtube of Hook City Ken, i was impressed by the hat he was wearing. So i reached out to him as to where he got it. He informed me that he sells them on his website, so i bought one.
I had been wearing a large brim straw hat, but it is very prone to being blown off with the wind.
This hat is no doubt the best ive ever had for protection, and it is also not as apt to be blown into the water. Also very light and comfortable to wear.
My advise would be to check it out at hookcitytv.com.
