I've got a Tilly that I've had for several years now 6-7+ I think. It has done the job you seem to want your hat to do for me. While it did cost more than most - it seems to have been worth it for me.

In the same token, I've been known to drag out one of my 'cowboy' hats when it's raining and I've always liked the way they have worked - going from the truck to the house or office building or even if I had to be outside all day. They sure don't pack worth a darn so going in a suitcase isn't going to work thus, the Tilly. Hope that helps some.
