When I first saw anglers here wearing these hats, I laughed - not so now. A day on a river in summer could be compared to standing in a sauna in full diving gear, so any way to keep cool is certainly welcomed by me. The white center piece keeps your head from touching the inside of the hat and allows air to circulate.

Also a good idea to wear one if you ever go night squid fishing on a squid boat. Many of the good boats provide them to their customers because the ultraviolet light from the high wattage bulbs can give you an unexpected sunburn, just like if the sun was shining.
