You guys don't find the Akubra's too hot and sweaty for long walks in the bush? Classic look but I prefer cloth these days, but still wear Akubra's when not too strenuous going.

John, my current Akubra fits only because it was bought and fitted to me by the hat shop at Katoomba (going out towards Echo Poit - Three Sisters) before that they only sought of fit!

A group of us passed through Nkomangombi, down nearby Lake Nyasa (or Lake Malawi if on the wetsern side) and there was what looked like a local with a zebra pattern hat. The order was buy some if you can. I subsequently spent a lot of time down that way but never saw the hat again, and never saw another like it no matter where I went, Dar, Nairobi, Mombasa etc.

Some nice hats gents.

John I like the setup for that photo. But where is the .450 No.2?

Cheers, Chris
