My best friend used to wear that when we disc golfed.

Did it stop the frisbees?

That's actually a baby of a frisbee and a hat procreating

For casual wear there are some great technical fabrics out there and some good cotton blends. These are some of the most comfortable pants I own if you don't want to wear just baggy pants. Adding additional technical fabrics adds comfortable stretch to a more modern and slim fit pant, the DUER. If they get wet, they do stay wet for a while compared to the others due to the cotton, but a lovely pant.

No Sweat Pant Slim

Guys who need comfortable pants that look good turn to The No Sweat Pant. Built from our remarkable N2X fabric this slim-fit is a wardrobe essential.

62% Cotton 34% TENCEL™ Lyocell 3% LYCRA® T400® Polyester 1% LYCRA® Spandex

Western Rise has a couple of purely synthetic pants which are great like the Evolution 2.0 and the Diversion

The Lululemon ABC's are good but just in a more limited temperature range compared to some of the others. Those are all recycled synthetics as well. Bluffworks has a nice all synthetic pant I like better than the ABC's. More breathable.

For hiking, can't beat merino wool blend t shirts. Wool & Prince make some nice ones of those. Prana makes some nice organic cotton pants but also mostly synthetic blends. My favorite baggy summer casual pants are these Prana men's yoga pants, hemp/cotton blend. Just don't want to sweat in them but they are quite loose fitting. Kuhl make some nice technical fabric hiking pants too.

This is the hat I wear in hot ass places like the Mediterranean (over 100F regularly in the summer where I go), and on hikes when there is not enough tree cover. SPF 50 and dries fast.

I have a bunch of running hats. A few of them are from races...usually you can get some good ones from the runner expos. My favorite is this polyester one I bought from Walmart on Clearance for $3. Basically, this hat in the picture, but it's black:

If you go to a running store, you'll see a bunch of them made by Adidas and Nike. I really don't care the brand, but it's important to shield your face from sun, rain, and have that band over your brow to help with sweat.

When running in extreme cold, I still keep with a cap to hold in heat, but will add a bandana or ear warmers to protect myself from wind.

Yeah, for my causal clothes I pretty much only wear cotton. Except my nylon shorts in the summer. I rarely wear true business clothes, but I do think most of those are a blend.

Years ago (I mean like 30+?) I bought a sport coat that was synthetic. At the time I figured it was pretty novel, it doesn't look traditional although the tailoring isn't particularly strange. I still have it (I'm pretty sure) but haven't worn it for probably 30 years. It just looks different, feels different. It's a strange color!

I was barechested on Mount Everest making Mai Tais when I made that post. Cool as a cucumber. I had just shedded all my cotton climbing gear too. Didn't have time to wait 10 min. Had to get down, so I could bag the next peak. Felt good.

Actually I like all of you people and think it's sad you had this tiff. Knock it off! Now, in P&N is where you usually see the shit fights. And here we are trying to find a running hat!

TBH some of my hats are ones I found. I must have close to 20 hats, maybe 30. I'm partial to bucket hats (and yes, I wear them indoors, cuts the glare from lights and windows), but I am very very particular about my bucket hats (I dislike most ) and I have my own way of wearing them. They'd never do for running.

My favorite bucket hat (of which I have 4):

I say dear chap, smashing!

Cork is not very permeable so not exactly a good running hat material. Fine for stopping the sun though.

That's why it has the cotton cover.

That's why it has the cotton cover.

adding more material just makes it less permeable...
