Village hats is what I was going to suggest so I'm with Melinda :) I bought one from there last summer and it does the job

Hello all. Thanks for the info about Village Hats. Just had a look and saw they sell Tilley hats, which is what I was going to recommend. The trouble with these is that they are stupidly expensive.

However, just to let you all know that you can get Tilley Hats at sale price, now, here:

I am not a saleperson, BTW. But have just been looking at hats as I am going away in a couple of days!

Bought mine from snow and rock - good quality, but half the price of Tilley

I'm sorry I'm a bit late on this so may have missed the boat.

I needed some serious sun protection last year for a South American trip. I ended up with a Wallaroo Adventure hat from sun-togs.co.uk/ and an Outdoor Research Helios hat from actionoutdoors.co.uk.

They may be a little bit too much like adventure holiday hats for you but both companies have a range of others. I'm also most certainly not a salesperson but did loads of research last year as I was terrified of a flare-up through going away somewhere hot!

Try on eBay, search for Sunday afternoons adventure sun protection hat. A little expensive but they shade your face and your neck area.

Not what you're looking for?
