POPSAustralian Oilskin Hat I bought mine 6 years ago. I used it in monsoon jungles in southern China, the mountains of Sichuan, Thailand in rainy season, the Sol-Khumbu in Nepal, and the Gobi desert. Now it is semi-retired, but still in fine shape. Sadly, Marszal bought one a year later and the quality was totaly gone, also a slightly different style, so something changed with the manufacturer. His turned into a soppy pile of goo after one trip to Burma. Disappointing. Great hat but not consistent. The original had a great broad brim that saved my neck from burning in the desert!
