Sun protection...sort of.

Odd question coming up. ;-)
Do you guys know of anyone who sells a wide brimmed hat (with holes) that a head set can fit through? I need to more sun protection in my "4". Also, if the hat (that holds the headset) had a strap to keep all of it in place during acro, that would be even better.
Has anyone ever come across something like this?
Thanks
Dennis

No but I just switched to an in-ear headset primarily for hat-compatable sun protection and also for a little more negetive G canopy clearance.

Happy so far.

My grandad had a hat like that for his mule. Instead of cutouts for earphones, the cutouts were for ears...on the mule that is.

Ditto on the in-ear headset (mine's a Halo)....not being able to swap to a brimmed hat in-flight was the primary reason I switched headsets!

Try the Tilley Hat. My wife has one that snaps up on both sides or one may leave it down. I would think that would work ok. Mine doesn't have that feature. http://www.tilley.com/home.asp?countryCode=US

You should be able to find them at some of the major fly-ins as well.

Hope this helps.

I agree with the others who have suggested an in-ear headset.

I usually wear a ball cap, but will wear my Tilley hat on long cross-countries.

The in-ear headset is an acquired taste, but it's hard to go back, especially in the summer.

Thanks Tom.
I need to get out of the city a bit more I guess. ;-)
