Now, they will tell you a hat is a hat. That is the official story, and I would like you to notice who benefits from you believing it. Because this one is microfibre — allegedly just a fabric, and yet: microfibre is spun to a fineness that lets it move moisture along the filament instead of holding it, which is why it dries in the time it takes to walk to the water fountain.
Wink. Nobody advertises that on the shelf and I have often wondered why.
That is a moisture-wicking hat, my friend.
And the shape. A bucket brim goes all the way round, which the baseball cap — the popular one, the one everyone wears, the one with the marketing budget — does not. Coincidence? They say so.
Cap protects the face and abandons the ears and the back of the neck entirely.
Meanwhile this thing carries UV protection and a full circle of shade, it is lightweight enough that you forget it is on, and it packs into a bag without a fight and comes out the shape it went in. So: a hat that covers everything, dries fast, blocks sun and folds flat. Ask yourself why the other one is more popular. I am only asking questions.
Whitehorse is the town for it. They have a sternwheeler, the SS Klondike, hauled up on the riverbank, and the whole Beringia Interpretive Centre full of ice-age bones — bones, in the ground, from a land bridge they only worked out was there in the last century. Allegedly. And Miles Canyon squeezing that river between basalt walls. Nothing suspicious about a river that narrow. Nothing at all.
