I know there was a post a long time ago about hats, but for the life of me I cannot find it. I thought someone posted a link to an Alpinestar or Firstgear boonie hat/foldable hat, but I cannot find crap online. When I am out touring, I like to get off the bike and walk around. I hate sunscreen, so I like to wear hats to prevent sunburn. Baseball caps don't do anything for my ears nor neck, so I was looking for something with a brim. I don't want a leather Minnetonka hat that I could lose either.

Does anyone know what I am talking about?

For the last five years I've been wearing a generic black boonie that I bought at my local army-navy store for $10. Nothing special but it works.

MIL Surplus? They're like $3 at the surplus store these days.

Stitch a Honda patch on it.

I was about to reply that there are no Army Surplus near me anymore when I decided to search for one again. I found a small place 10 minutes away. Found a boonie hat for $15. Bought that one until I can find a nice Tilley on ebay.
