I wear a Filson oilcloth packer hat when it is cool, a Stetson bucket hat (sort of a boonie-style but with a little shorter brim) when it is warm. When it is really hot, I wear a cheap straw fedora from the "mart." They all have short, flexible brims.

For a great warm weather hat you can do the Dean Torges boonie with the brim sewn shorter and top cut off with some elastic sew in so it stays on your head.
Had a sew shop make me one years ago but someone at a shoot wanted it more than me. Been meaning to have another one made. Just plain ole great hats for hot weather.
You can see an example of it in his BBO video.
Also the turned around ball cap works great.

Buff, I saw your video (great, by the way) and noticed the hat too. It got me thinking about fedoras. I'm sure I'll end up with one for cool weather hunting. Yours looks light weight enough for what I'm wantin. Thanks, Lin

I think this Breezer from cabelas would probably work pretty good. When it gets really sweaty hot, I go to a Do Rag too, it keeps my bald head from getting burned and keeps the sweat out of my eyes.
Where can I get one of those leafy boonie hats pictured in the post above?

An olive drab cotton "crevase". Can be purchased at Army surplus if you can find it. Comes out of the old first aid kits to sling a broken arm. Its in the shape of a large triangle and ties up around your head easily like a doo rag. I've used one for years.
