Looking for a water proof hat having got soaked the other weekend. Anyone good a recommendation?

Thank you.
 
I have a Tilley wide brim sun hat which is really well made but moderately expensive by my standards! They make a waxed cotton version.

My father in law told me they can be eaten by an elephant, passed, washed and reused though I’ve not tried it!
 
Tilley.

Not waterproof per se, but effectively they are. Obviously not the one with the mesh vent.

Expensive, but then you have a T6, so it's all relative!

Not even the waxed cotton one ? Adverts seem to imply it is?

Probably is, I haven't seen that one. I've had the plain duck cotton one for years, and although it will eventually absorb water, it is enough for a few hours rain before it feels too damp.

I would definitely go for a Tilley Waxed Cotton if I needed it to be waterproof.
 
Love my Tilley hat,
