Bass Turd Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 When you guys fish in the rain do you have a preferred hat? Or do you just put the hoodie up on your rain jacket? Do you still wear a baseball cap to keep the rain off your face? I was searching for rain hats but didn't find much of interest. Except of course the Gortons's fishermans hat in bright yelllow. Does anyone have the frog togs boonie hat? I might try that one as I can stow it well in the boat and use it when needed. Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted August 26, 2016 Super User Posted August 26, 2016 I use a rain jacket hood and one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Research-Radar-Pocket-Cap/dp/B003P8QPIA It is the perfect size to "tent" out my hood and it folds down to fit in a pocket. Quote
John Lea Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 I wear a wide brimmed Tilley Outback year round. It is no hotter that a baseball cap and gives better shade. Pretty good in the rain and wind. Quote

I wear it everywhere when I go outside (I'm wearing it in my profile picture too). I would easily suggest an Army surplus boonie hat in whatever camo pattern you like (I'm a multicam fan). They're water resistant, have a bill all the way around to protect your neck from the sun and comfy as hell. 1 Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted August 27, 2016 Super User Posted August 27, 2016 Same as you would for your whole body---an umbrella hat of course: http://www.orientaltrading.com/web/browse/processProductsCatalog?Nrpp=10000&sku=5%2F580&BP=PS514&source=bing&ms=search&cm_mmc=Bing-_-Bing+|+Hats-_-Hats+-+Umbrella+(BMM)-_-%2Bumbrella %2Bhats&cm_mmca1=Product+Search&cm_mmca2=NonBrand&cm_mmca3=PS514&cm_mmca4=FS49&cm_mmca5=Product&cm_mmca6=Hats&cm_mmca8=BMM&cm_mmca11=%2Bumbrella %2Bhats?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing | Hats&utm_term=%2Bumbrella %2Bhats&utm_content=Hats - Umbrella (BMM)&categoryId=377320&Nrpp=10000 Quote
Torn Thumb Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 $4 and rated 4.6 out of 5?? I just ordered 7 of them. The umbrella hat monkey strikes again. 3 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 27, 2016 Global Moderator Posted August 27, 2016 I stick with the ball cap. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 28, 2016 Super User Posted August 28, 2016 I purchased the surplus Swiss camp ponchos. I use a nam jungle hat in the rain. Fishing from shore I wear jump boots. www.Amazon.com Swiss camo poncho. Barre army navy for the military boonies hat. Unless you want to look politically correct. I price shop. Quote
