Kayak fishing is a lot of time about making your time on the water and the elements more enjoyable - or even more tolerable as is the case with fishing in extreme conditions. I just got back from Baja and the temps were in the 100's and little breeze. I had this Exofficio Neptune Hat for a while and thought I would check it out down there. First off, let me say I am bit of a fishing hat collector and have tried every conceivable hat style there is in search of the perfect blend of protection and comfort. The Neptune hat is a complete pleasure to wear, it is so lightweight you don't know its on and the wide brim give you lots of sun protection and stays stiff - even in a wind. The top part of the hat has a light mesh that really breathes and dries quickly. An easy adjustable draw cord makes it one size fits all. If you fish in any warm climates or just want to protect yourself from the sun I suggest you try the Exoffiicio Neptune Hat.
