Hi All,
Not really been on the slaptop much recently as I've been up at the bothy shepherding. And the constand rain made me look at the kit im using allot, i use pretty much the same stuff for work and stalking, so i guess its sort of relevant. A quick search on the forum revealed lots about coats and trousers and boots but not alot on hats, which i think are just as important, so i am surgesting a hat thread abit like the ones you get for "lets see your rifle" I am fully prepared for a thread fail but hell, you only live once So a little bit about your favourite head gear, any pictures or links woulld be right champion too Im looking for a new hat to replace my sealskins job, so any advice would be grand
So to kick it off
A SealSkinz Beanie, waterproof and warmish, though not my choice for really cold weather (and now leaking after 2 seasons)

A 30 below hat made from posum fur, this is my favourite hat and is only used in really cold weather, its pretty waterproof but its the warmth that makes it great, although ide say it was over kill for the uk, especially with our new 7oC winters
