Let's not forget they're also designed to block sun reflected from the sides, as well as the top, as riders are leaning forward in the drops. But I'll defer to your obviously better judgement and experience. So you can win the intertubes today. Hooray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I looked at Decathlon and Lazada, but virtually all they have are baseball caps (which I already have). I want a hat with a brim all round. So where is the place to look for a selection of hats at a reasonable price? Have you been to central Mikes or terminal 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was advised to wear shades to slow the progression of cataracts. Along with some drop, which do seem to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpoint Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 It's a sign of all that's wrong with the world when a chap goes out East without packing his Solar Topi and tropical jacket. Why, back in my day one wouldn't be allowed in the club for a stengah if not wearing them. Ought to be flogged, I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Great tip. Go to any of the big Malls such as Central. Go to the men sports department nat the back usually. There you have brands like Colombia, North Face, you will find the brimmed hats you’re looking for, UVA proof, good quality you can wash and wear forever. Don’t muck with the sun on your face / head. in Bangkok there are many specialty trecking shops, online too, but better to try the hat on before buying it ! I like the Australian type myself that really are the best and made for purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStar Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Is the OP a Brit? If so, I'd think he'd want to go with a deerstalker. Why compromise? Protective front and rear. Earflaps helpful against Pattaya noise. Perfect for hunting on Soi 6. Also, for greater inspiration, may be worn while at the keyboard engaged in detective work here on the forum. Seem none sold on Lazada but of course importing is easy. Edited January 10 by BigStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
