Tilley Hiker Hat | Gear Review

[@ShalominMessiah-og9jq]

I have a Tilley hat, one of the best purchases I ever made for going outdoors

[@rivercitymetaldetecting9854]

You can adjust the cord so it is more secure to your head in windy conditions. I've been a fan of the LTM6 for years.

[@cospernc]

I'm a huge hat fan, so I'm quite happy to see they're offered in Man sizes. (7 3/4 and larger - I'm a 7 7/8 or an 8) $100 for a nice hat isn't bad - especially when you have a large head and often have to resort to custom-made hats.

[@Heisenberg-src]

Very nice review. I have the T3 Wanderer and couldn't be happier. To me, any Tilley hat is a great hat.

[@jdkarns]

Nice review, loved it. BTW you can adjust the chin strap and tighten it up so the hat won't fly off your head in high winds ever.

[@KuntryRD]

I have several friends that love their Tilley Hats. I am so short that most wide-brimmed hats hit my pack at the back, unless I am using a day pack or frameless pack; that makes me sad. Me want a Tilley Hat! For a hat with a life-time guarantee, $100 is not that much. I really like this video. This hat has so many features that I was not even aware of.

[@WR3ND]

No worries. Canada is our northern back country neighbor. We're glad for you folks up there, which is probably why we feel comfortable giving you so much guff. Either way, nice hat. 🤠

[@cheerio3847]

By any chance is that part of the Bruce Trail? gorgeous trail sections you have been showing us. I'd enjoy videos of a Bruce thru hike if you decide to skip the AT this year and hike locally while you heal up. Always wanted to hike the Bruce someday.

[@Major-Steve]

This hat probably not for me just due to cost but I do appreciate you showing it off. It is really good to see you back doing videos. I’ll watch em!

[@kampersadventures958]

Great review. I like a hiking hat that has all the "ables" (washable, foldable, and breathable) So cool to see you out in the woods again.

[@carolinadreamer7601]

So glad you are back! Only you can do a video on hats and make it interesting! Love that you are hiking again, keep the videos coming. Nice trail you were on, beautiful forest.

[@maxncathy44]

We have the same one I found mine mostly hidden in leaves along the Appalachian Trail..it fit perfectly Good to see you again. Get well soon.

[@desfarrell909]

Max Mitchell I hope it wasn’t attached to someone’s old head...

[@maxncathy44]

Haha..no body in sight. My hat story.. I gave my Tilley to Cathy because it was tight for me..she said she'd buy me a Tilley that was one size larger and green in colour because she preferred green on me.. A month later I was hiking the AT and gave 20 dollars to students thru hiking so they could buy some pizza at Partnership shelter area.. The next day I found a green Tilley that was the exact size for me and it had 25 dollars in the lid area of the hat! True story.

[@thegabb]

That's mine! I dropped it! That's right where I was, too!

[@mikes4352]

I've had my Tilley for about 2 yrs now. Because my head is shaved, I wear a ball cap dailey. I decided to purchase a wide brim hat once my son and I started to get back into hiking. I was going to purchase an OR or Columbia , but REI had a 20% off sale and with my points made the $85 cost a lot more manageable. While the other hats were nice I do think the Tilleys is nicer. I have the AirFlow TM6 model(not sure of the differences). I have to agree, the hat is super comfortable, breathable and protects my bald head nicely. It has gotten nasty after a few sweaty hikes, but is like new after being thrown into the washer. Thanks for the review and glad to see you back in the saddle. Take care

[@kampersadventures958]

I was just wondering if REI sold the Tilley hat, thanks for that.

[@desfarrell909]

Thanks for the quality video of the hat. Mine arrived in the post today and I was initially disappointed with the unstructured floppiness of the lightweight material on the top. However it’s growing on me now. I may have chosen a size too small because I can only get two fingers under the brim if I pull out the brim with my other hand. I bought it chiefly for fishing so it may work out but for a sweaty hike a tight hat would be a disaster. Thanks again, subscribing.

[@mikevonspeed4396]

Great review, does a bug net fit over it ?

[@20Hikecdt23]

I found this hat to be great and I was driving a semi-truck. I like it on the CDT also and will use it again when I return to the CDT.

[@timbrown177]

I have always admired the gear you have to me you get the best, thanks for sharing it with us, love video's glad you're healing looks Great be safe bud

[@JohnRichardsonJohnRichardson]

Great review! I've been curious about that hat - to the point that I'm tempted to gift one to my brother. It looks great, coverage as good as a Seattle Sombrero, but for warmer weather. Your new hairstyle should be even better for a hot weather hike! Hope you get a chance to get out for a trip.

[@BeeeHonest]

I have a Tilley with a large brim, love it. And it looks good on me. I also waxed ith with Beeswax to waterproof it. It also helps shape the hat too!

[@ipsc2alpha]

What pack are you carrying in the video?

[@keithstewart2639]

Thanks for the Hat review glad to see you out hiking

[@VanlilfewithDaleandBailey]

That is probably the longest and best hat review I have ever seen. I've looked at Tiley hats, but right now I can't get past the cost. Maybe next year.

[@halfmile4325]

Hats are more than just something to wear.... sentimental attachment is a big deal for me.....my mentor was Colin Fletcher of British decent trans posed to San Fransisco, Ca....he wore a wide brim felt hat and thus I adopted that with a very effective modification that I learned in the Marines.....apply shellac and thus the hat became water proof... Glad to see the knee is doing well....

[@bhansen316]

If you pull the excess chin cord strap through the eyelit so it's tight under your chin and back of hat it won't be going anywhere in the wind

[@katahdinorbust2197]

"Gear geek edition" I LOVE IT! Can't wait for more!! Hook us up with a sleep system one? I'm struggling to pull the trigger on my bag/quilt. Got the NeoAir pad & sastified, but the bag vs. the quilt...UGH! Would LOVE to hear your thoughts!

[@loram3447]

Air cooled, like an old VW?

[@davidpinter-piano]

Excellent review. Answered all my questions... very detailed!

[@garynorden1117]

Little pricey for a hat wondering if it came with a bug net or as an accessory? Glad to see your doing good.Life has many mountins to clime just dont quit. Peace out The old guy.

[@mr4hamricks]

Great review! Sounds great for the PCT!

[@jackjohnson65]

As a Tilley fan ( 5 hats & 1 cap ) and a hiker I am surprised I don't have that hat! I use a non Tilley for hiking.

[@shoe509]

You could probably add a cord lock to the front strap and cinch it up.

[@TheShiro06]

The best review !! Thanks

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

Look up on KZbin how to use your wind cord, when you use it right, it will not blow off

[@bneilb]

Great video

[@terrell48]

I went and looked at Tilley hats just yesterday and once I saw the prices , realize there are many options as good for bucket hats for much much much better prices

[@pamfitzpatrick3252]

Love mine!

[@basicdose.9872]

Morning.

[@TwmSaer]

I wish my LTM6 was a T5MO or a LTM5, but it is what we sell, and well, employee discount, so.......

[@tjm3900]

As a Canadian I was very proud that the Tilly hat WAS made in Canada. But the company has since sold out and the hats are now MADE IN CHINA!

[@HarshaJayasekera]

This hat is still made in Canada but looks like their most popular LTM6 and other non-cotton hats are now made in China and cost the same as before.

[@garycarr809]

They have lots of Cdn-made options still

[@tjm3900]

@@garycarr809 But for how long ?

[@TheSkite575]

Made in China and not guaranteed for life

[@troutaholic8834]

Hot and heavy. Does not work in Texas for me. Maybe in Canada, but not Texas.

[@metsfan3177]

No longer a proud Canadian company. Now several being made in China.

[@ceeman625]

Shopping Tilley company for hat. Says made in china

[@dstorm7752]

Very incomplete review, no mention of the chin cord.
