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.

 :yeah:

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

Ah ha!  That picture proves my point, though.  I think that the hats are fine but they fold up on the sides in the wind and stick to the velcro thing.  See the side of his hat?  He looks like some sort of Aussie...

Anyway, that's why I quit wearing the thing.  In bad weather it was constantly folding up.  Of course, I used to hunt the Snake (and surrounding areas) for deer and birds a lot and the wind was always blowing.  If you lived in an area that had less wind it might work better.

I also want to mention that it was a quality hat and the waterproofing worked.  Other than the brim folding up I liked it.  Now I just pull my hood up when it rains - but it does cover your ears and limits your peripheral vision a little, which sucks.

I love my Seattle Sombrero by Outdoor Research.  It's priced reasonably and durable.  I"ve had mine for 12 years.  Look at REI.
