Another vote for the Tilley! I have two T3s, and find that, more & more, I wear them year-round, though I still like my wool felt hat with my leather jacket in winter better.

I don't think I've got more than $25 (USD) in either of them. One was an REI sale, the other, an e-bay purchase, used.

I'm in Florida now, on vacation, & pretty much don't leave the house without my hat. They're great in sun, wind, rain...can't say I've worn it in snow...yet. I use the head cords as needed, and have NEVER had one blown from my head--including wearing it in a full gale!

I have a bug net that fits over the crown & down to my collar that I've used with another hat (it came with my first hat, from LL Bean), and it works with the Tilley's too. I wash mine about once a year.

Get one; they're worth the price! But, as noted, a bit of judicious shopping will save money.
