Post by: Biggles on April 05, 2016, 12:28:46 PM: +1 on the dark colour.

Maybe the model makes it look dopier than it is >:()

but I'd prefer something with maybe a smaller brim or shallower crown so that it didn't look like I was trying to emulate a button mushroom. |-i

Post by: Sicman on April 06, 2016, 09:54:05 AM: Thinking about its use 3/4's of the year we will probably use the cap - It's the other quarter of the year when its farkling hot :H that the need for bucket hat will arise.
:think1 Me thinks change its colour to white, to reflect heat and look for the type that has the mesh band to allow airflow :thumb

I still get comments at work to this day.Nothing wrong...just getting on with work.
The hat would look good in orange.I'm not a fan of the colour but i think it would be a bit cooler.
Title: Re: OzSTOC Bucket Hat trial - FEEDBACK WANTED
Post by: spanner on April 09, 2016, 09:34:35 PM: don't use mesh as it is not sun proof.

As a regular bucket hat user and living in Farking Hot Townsville I can honestly say that black hats don't really make that big a difference ..... if it is hot ..... it's HOT . colour made no difference to my bald head.
Title: Re: OzSTOC Bucket Hat trial - FEEDBACK WANTED
Post by: spanner on April 09, 2016, 09:36:29 PM: I submitted a vote of keep looking ONLY because the brim seems a little steep. Not brimming out as such.

But apart from that its fine ..... although an orange Hat with black trim would look cool
Title: Re: OzSTOC Bucket Hat trial - FEEDBACK WANTED
Post by: ST2UP on April 09, 2016, 10:15:33 PM: I said I would post some feedback at a later time......so here is what I found.

The hat is comfortable, really comfy in fact, but for me it's just not functional......

The brim is to steep....and the problem this creates is you cannot have full vision out from under the brim, the steepness at the rear has it catching on your collar and becoming really annoying......the further you tip it back to see the worse this problem becomes.

I wore it for about 2 hrs the other day on the mower in 30 degrees and I didn't find the heat from a black hat an issue. Navgirl20 gave me a similar story about heat not being an issue when she used it......but I understand people's concerns :think1

It stores easier than the cap as it folds flat and even after being scrunched up in a top box it holds its original shape well.

That's just some personal feedback I have experienced.

Title: Re: OzSTOC Bucket Hat trial - FEEDBACK WANTED
Post by: NavGirl20 on April 20, 2016, 07:47:26 AM: I wore the hat quite a bit while on our trip. Besides the size being too large the idea of a bucket hat is great - gives more sun protection than cap. I found the brim too steep and it kept catching on my collar, so a style with a brim that's not so deep would be better. I'm not keen on mesh inserts as its not sun safe. I think black with orange trim is a good color choice - it matches the cap colors so I see no need to change it. As for black in the heat - it's HOT anyway so doesn't make much difference. Apart from that the hat was well with good stitching etc and would last.
Title: Re: OzSTOC Bucket Hat trial - FEEDBACK WANTED
Post by: ST2UP on May 05, 2016, 04:34:03 PM: Well the feedback seams to confirm that a bucket/broadbrim hat is a good idea....per the poll the style is inconclusive, so we will look for another hat and if nothing appears in a reasonable period of time we will go with this one :thumb

Thanks for your feedback and opinions :-++

Title: Re: OzSTOC Bucket Hat trial - FEEDBACK WANTED
Post by: spanner on August 08, 2016, 09:12:59 AM: I need to STRESS that having MESH is NOT a good idea for a bucket hat.

it does not make it a sun safe hat as the sun still gets through the mesh and you WILL get sun burn.

I know this from experience ...... my bald head got burnt to a crisp on a days fishing with a "sun safe" hat with MESH.

Also as wearer of bucket hats EVERYDAY in hot hot HOOOOOOOOOT Townsville I can honestly say that the colour really makes very little difference to the user ..... as I have said before .... if it's hot, it's hot!

As you have stated the brim is waaaay to steep.

I'll see if I can fine my old favourite bucket hat that had a great brim and see if I can find the manufacturer.

Cheers,

Spanner.
