With the summer season upon us, I thought I'd mention Wallaroo Hats. I just found out about this neat hat company by receiving one of their brown check Jasper hats as a gift. It has a wide 3" brim, is very light and airy, sports an adjustable headband and chin strap (critical for birdng on windy days) and snaps back to shape if mashed. Wallaroo offers a wide variety of natty models offering UPF 50+ ratings to keep those gnarly UV rays off your scalp, neck, and face. These go beyond typical floppy sun hats to offer plenty of style and function with easy-to-care-for materials. Also nice is Wallaroo's support of skin cancer research- they donate 1% of their annual profits to this cause. So check out their chapeau offerings if you are needing a new topper for sunny birding outings!!
