Hat recommendations. I don't want to be a redneck!

[Ammoman]

Any recommendations on a hat that will allow for headphone use and cover the neck from the sun?

So far all the hats i can find cover the ears as well as the neck making it impossible to wear headphones.

Thanks for your input and HH everyone!

Audio/hearing protection sun hats. I can really see a need for something like that while metal detecting under the hot blazing sun.

We've gotten hats like the above pictured or similar at Outdoor World.
Maybe there, or a Cabellas, or sporting goods store, will have something doable.
Steve, check maybe even ebay, might can get a deal on a few of them.
I get my booties off ebay, saves me a ton of money.

Just grow your hair longer, when it gets down below your neck you won't have any problems getting sunburn.

My hair is down to the bottom of my butt cheeks and my beard reaches my belly button. I wear my hair tied in a pony tail and my beard braided. Neither is much sun protection. Last haircut & shave were in September 1975.

I wear a straw brimmed gardening hat in the summer and switch to wired ear buds with the WM-08 connected to my nox 800.

The hat mentioned above would work great. It’s not very fashionable looking but it’s practical.

Also consider a buff. I wear them fishing a lot but they can be hot sometimes. Bonus! They also work as a face mask. Another option is a hooded shirt. I have a few lightweight fishing shirts with a hood and also extended sleeves with a thumbhole to keep your wrists covered. Add in some SPF gloves and you're covered. You can also find shirts with a built in buff and or built in buff and hood.

This is what I wear in the Florida sun since I deplore using sunscreen as it ends up in my eyes irritating my contact lenses.

That thing is hideous! It brings shame to the hobby. Only half joking. I prefer a fishing hat that has a snap on either side to snap the brim to the sides. Then the earphones fit right over the top. Heres a shot but only one snap is attached. The waterproof headphones go right over it so I think any phones would. In fact this is a good rundown of the gear. I was detecting and caught this nice rockfish with my bare hands! I think I'll do my own post about it in a sec.
