Safe and effective on a London Fog raincoat and on a Tilley hat?

I would color test the items in a small area first but with London Fog the fabric should be colorfast. It should work great.

I don't know. There didn't seem to be any residue on the convertible top, but I would try some in an inconspicuous spot.

It will all depend on how sedentary you are. I wear these when I drift fish for steelhead in a boat for 10 hour+ days. The temps are usually 35F and below. I also wear a polartec beanie, balaclava, 3 other mid-layers, 3 pairs of smartwool socks and Baffin boots. If you will be actively moving about, this is not for you.

I used it for a toy fog to keep water out of gave hair. It worked perfectly for that.

I would not buy it solely to wear on a hard hat. It will slip a lot, this is designed to go on your head. Good luck.

I've been using one in a large warehouse and I noticed that it did fog up once on a damp night. The domes are best used in areas that are within people's reach, their angle can't be adjusted without taking the dome off which requires an allen wrench. Thus, you don't have to worry about people moving them.

I live in Chicago, so things get pretty hot here as well. I've noticed that the hat is very good at absorbing sweat. I've tried cotton and straw hats and still prefer this one.

I wouldn't worry about a light rain as I've not experienced any problems. Heavy rain not so sure . . . but very easy to take the two bands off that hold in place and stash in a safe place (raincoat pocket; storage compartment, etc.). They supply two extra bands, and you could take a small Ziplock snack-sized baggy, and use one of the extra bands to hold baggy in place until rain comes and then use both to cover the computer.

Hi John ! Sorry for not respondng any sooner ...If you like you can most certainly use the "hat string as a ... chin string ...instead of a "head" string :-)" ...that's what's so beautiful about the Tilley and makes the Tilley hats so unique !! I advise you to have a peak at their website !!! ...every wearing option or fashion as you fancy is beautifully explained ! if you would ask: "if it wears out, ... would you buy another one ?" I would answer "no need to !!!" If you take care of your "Tilley" as advised ... you're "HEADDRESSED3 for live" ...LITERALLY !HughNetherlands Hi John !

I've use it on one of my hats, didn'y have any problem with the brim. Be sure it is completely dry before taking it out of the frame.

I've never had any sweat in my face wearing the hat, even when the brim has a sweat ring my face has stayed dry. It is actually very good in a light rain too. As long as it isn't raining too hard to push down the brim.

This hat will dry quickly and provide some relief from light rain, but it is intended as a sun hat, not a rain hat. It is not hydrophobic like a durable water repellent treated material. It is made from lightweight materials and should pack easily.

Google "Village Hat Shop" for a chart and explanation. For Tilley always buy one size larger because the hat is held on with the back strap and the space at the back allows for ventilation.

Hi Jason, My specs fog up too. I've done all my mototcycling in Europe and America wearing glasses and it's the one and only thing that bugs me about the thing I do most for fun (in public) All previous balaclavas, when worn covering my nose have simply exacerbated the problem and no amount of anti-fog treatment of my lenses or visor would help very much. The CTR Chinook has a panel in the nose/mouth area that helps enorrmously and whilst it's not perfect it does make a huge difference. When moving your misting problem will likely be minimal but at stops you'd normally be frantically lifting the visor or poking around with a gloved finger in an effort to create a small clear window. With the chinook I've found that pursing my lips at stops, so that they actually come into contact with the mesh panel, whilst lifting the visor results in almost zero spectacles misting. Like I said. It's by no means perfeect but on cold rides I often find myself wishing I'd found and purchased something similar years ago. Frankly it's a mystery why motorcycle clothing manufacturers don't pay more attention to the snow mobile sector. Hope this helps.

Nope. Moreover I've tried the shield version and I don't know about others but I had the problem of the wind getting underneath the visor causing some discomfort and bad vision. That's why I went with the regular air attack and use my Smith pivlock2 and Oakley jawbone (I alternate). This is not to say you can't be crafty and find a way to attach neodymium magnets to the helmet, but this may weaken the integrity of the helmet making it less safe to wear. My advice would be to wait for the new giro synthe. It combines the best of the air attack with that of the aeon. Good ventilation mixed with aerodynamics. The air attack I have is used in colder conditions. The aeon all the time. Nope.

Hmm, I would be careful! Use it outdoors or a well ventilated room. I sprayed a box that contains my top hat and let it sit outside for a bit before I put my hat back inside. Just to be safe.

I wouldn't recommend it in a warm-weather climate, as the neoprene will hold in even more heat around your face than the helmet would normally. It also depends somewhat on how snug your helmet fits going over your ears, as the straps going around the sides of your head rest over your ears and your helmet could pull them down too low as you slide it on. I tried it with an open-faced helmet and it was workable, but not easy.

Personally would not recommend this one. This one runs small, is stiff, wouldn't breathe as you pointed out. I would suggest the women's style straw hat, it can be scrunched into a ball and come out great, it is very durable and it is unisex (looks good on a man or a woman), and it is breathable. Probably a better choice in the humidity.
