Waterproof headgear.

[Huntbear]

I am looking for a waterproof/camo boonie style hat, any ideas?  I prefer a very wide brimto keep the water off my glasses, and from running down my neck.

I had a waterproof outback style hat, that disappeared it seems, since I can not find it in my gear anywhere.

I have looked at Cabelas, nothing interesting there though.

Any ideas??

Nite Lite sells a waterproof boonie for $19.99, they are very good hats.

They don't come in cammo but you should check out the Outdoor Research Gor-tex sombrero's. I use mine allot while out fishing, great little hat.

They make one in black/dark green. Great hat for cold rainy weather. To be specific it is the Seattle Sombrero by OR.

I really liked the looks of those Seattle Sombreros and was about to buy one until I found out they are made in China.

River's West ... get the "Bucket Hat". Totally waterproof. Wide brimmed. You can fill the inside with water and it won't leak. I don't know about the rest of their products, but that hat is really amazing. I hunt on the west side during nasty weather and my head has never been wet with that hat.

....... PS... I see you're from Castle Rock. I got mine at Bob's.

Mines the Orange and black. Work out good for hunting.

Thanks guys, will be looking into all those.

And if I could find the guy I bought my original hat from, I would buy another, but it was 16 years old, and I actually bought it at the Sportsman show in Portland..

Any other ideas?

The only problem with the Seattle Sombrero is when it is windy.  It tends to blow the sides of the hat up and it sticks to a little velcro strip on the side, leaving the brim up.  Otherwise, it's pretty waterproof and works alright.

Didn't lose it at Lahar 3 years ago did you

If he did, it is at the bottom of the lake now.... Was a little wet that year...

[Huntbear]

Not sure where it got off to.  I had it and wore it last year, during elk season.  Now, poof, it is gone....   

I found one just like it, for 42 bucks plus shipping.  Can not afford, it, will probably go with a bucket hat for now, or something similar.
