[pct-l] Major Announcement -- Gear Change

[JPL]

Thanks.  One option that I’m considering is to use a standard wide-brimmed hat (I have a couple that I like), and attach a bandana to serve as neck protection.  Can’t quite figure out if the bandana would offer enough UV protection or exactly how to attach it to the hat.  Anyone have any experience with this scheme?

Yes. Based on my experience, this bit from the website is accurate:
  a.. Packs flat or rolls into a cone for travel. Do not fold or crease brim

  Yes, after many years of recommending a trail umbrella, I now recommend
  instead the Sunday Afternoons Adventure Hat.
