Now I really love my Tilley hat(s) but this little video is either another playful way of showing off the uniqueness of this hat or it is serious information about how to `Distract, Deflect and Disarm` your attacker or maybe it is both. Actually the defensive movements he uses can be demonstrated with or without the use of the hat.
