[pct-l] Lets Talk: Hats

[Timothy Nye]

The Tilley's disadvantage, which I discovered in 2009, is that reflected
glare continues to be a problem for indirect sun exposure; both in snow and
when hiking in light colored sand and next to light covered rock faces.
Steel-Eyes bandana solves this.  But this year I'm using a white North Face
kepi style cap.  Either works to keep the mosquitos at bay as the unformed
mosquito net I'm using this year  in place of my OR steel hoop one (3
oz) offsets the weight of carrying both the snap on kepi feature and my
bandanna.  The unformed net just goes on over the top of the kepi feature
and the metal hoop becomes superflous for bug protection purposes.
