Apologies for going off topic for a moment, but how did you find your Akubra in the moist heat of Africa?

They're great hats but I found the humidity here made mine itch like hell and I cured it by switching to a cotton hat.

Not a problem. In Africa it hasn't been very humid when I was hunting but could be very hot - 40 deg C+.

In Oz I have hunted the Top End in late November - "suicide season" - right before the Wet with daily thunderstorms and very high humidity. The Akubra was a must.

This hunt was done late October and was getting hot and humid.



The Akubra was off for the photo but this photo shows how cool it was in late November.
