Tilley cap is waterproof but bloody hot. Stays on in the wind and has side and back flaps. But you'd never use the back sun flap because if you needed it the cap would be too hot to wear. Overall, over-priced and only useful on a very cold wet windy day on a mountain top. Or perhaps for a sedentary activity like fishing.

Tilley Cap?

Bought one recently, too hot, it doesn't breath at all. They have offered to swap it for me however. Pity, I like the design, it stays on well in wind

Tillley winter hat: Just great!

Rohan Epic Pampas jacket and bags. Made the mistake of buying both earlier this year. They're useless and don't breath one iota, bags itch like mad with the heat and the jacket sogs up from the inside. OK as a raincoat maybe if you don't over-exert.

I wrote to them to complain but got the standard letter back and no offer of a discount on a better quality product that complies with trade description law.

Their ordinary bags are great, use them for work.
