toothandnail Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I wore a hat for the first time last weekend, I don't see how you do it . it was waaay hotter with a hat than without. Haven't got the nerve to wear those 'man' scarves - maybe in the winter, but summer?? Back when I was a kid we had a crazy neighbor who wore a black trench coat all summer - said it kept the heat out - maybe he was onto something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we're both missing something but.............I don't think so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviSS Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Outdoor Research Sombriolet. I wear it at work. Doesn't look cool, but it keeps you cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay870 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Tilley LTM6 Airflow for me. I can stuff it in my range bag and it pops right back to shape, and when it gets filthy chuck it in the washing machine and let it air dry and it looks like new.

SCTaylor Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I wear a visor at matches and a straw hat around the house when practicing or working outdoors. A visor lets the heat escape the top of your noggin & is secure, straw hat is a little hotter and blows off kinda easily but keeps the sun off my neck & face more. I spent too much time in Florida seeing folks of all ages with skin caner, I'll look like a doofus to beat melanoma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husker95 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 This last weekend I wore one of the Huk full-face sun masks, long-sleeve fishing shirt and a ball cap while shooting/ROing one of our big matches here in So CO. It was wicked hot and we were setting-up/shooting/ROing for 4 straight days. I think it made a big difference - I didn't feel nearly as wrung-out and heat exhausted as I did last year shooting the same match. Keeping the sun off my arms and face seemed to be better than just wearing my wide-brimmed hat. Would probably help if I lost 10 pounds too.

jrswanson1 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Stetson. Not a roper, but the wider, old school cowboy hat. Once I started wearing it to USPSA pistol and Steel Challenge last summer, no more red neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioSF Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 How do you all wear electronic ear protection with the wide brimmed hats? Do you just use plugs instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay870 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 For the 2 minutes per match I'm actually shooting I put on a regular baseball hat and muffs. The rest of they day I just wear plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrswanson1 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 How do you all wear electronic ear protection with the wide brimmed hats? Do you just use plugs instead? Just plugs. Do the same thing in SASS and 3-gun. The right muff always rides up on me when I'm shooting long-guns, so I just use plugs for all shooting.

Thanks for the solution here guys. I think I'll do the same - big hat and plugs, then switch to e-muffs and baseball cap for shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
