Well, it's a lot cooler than having the sun beat down on your head that's for sure. No, it's not hot to wear. :)

No, the Tilley hat is very comfortable, worn in Africa last year and also worn attending sports events.

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.

Kind of depends on your head size and how much hair you got... but I wear a Large in this helmet, and I haven't worn a ProFit hat in a while, but I wear a L/XL FlexFit baseball cap. The Large helmet fits perfectly and I never have issues with overheating, though I wouldn't recommend pedaling uphill with this on. Hope that helps!

I don't know about hot weather. I bought it for cold and it works out well. it does seem to be breathable if that helps.

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.

Best hat I have ever had. As far as the mesh part goes, it is a very fine mesh located just below the flat top. I have never noticed any problem and I have worn it in the Caribbean and in Hawaii with no problems. The mesh band is only 3/4" wide and because of the tightness of the mesh I cannot imagine that much sun gets through - probably more light than actual sun rays. With the brim unsnapped, there is more than ample shading from the sun on all sides of the head. I have never noticed my head getting hot when wearing this hat. Hope this helps!

It is warm, but in between cotton and down. It breathes quite well, which is why it regulates temperature so well. They are thin, but heavy in weight. I like something a little heavier laying on me, so I know it's there, but I also don't like to be hot. I've had three of these over the last 20 years - they are great.

yes! Its very cool and light to wear since its made with very thin material. Plus the fan doesn't let it heat up (if you live on a tropical island like me this would be an issue).

It's a little warm but hey, pretty much anything is a little warm when you're concealing in the summer in a hot climate. It is adjustable, so you can loosen it if needed. I actually wear mine jogging. Love this because it is very flexible to use.

Yes. I have one. It is the best hat ever made, and it's durable, yet malleable. Useful and highly adaptable to environmental conditions.

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

No. I've been wearing Tilleys for 8 years and never had a problem. I work at a golf course and spend many hours in the sun.

Pretty warm. I'm fairly comfortable, but my husband says it's too hot. We live in San Diego, CA...coldest it gets is low 40s. We only use in the fall/winter.

It didn't for me. I used it for playing golf in hot bright sunny weather. The mesh allow air flow but is high enough that when the sun moves the direct rays can't hit your scalp. I love the hat.

I wore mine while on the scene of fires with the fire dept., and while going up and down the hills here in Tenn, while deer hunting, so it should be good while playing golf. I found it VERY comfortable...

YES. It is insulated due to the fact that it is mad of a soft foam material that gives it is shape. Included are ear flaps that tuck up and out of the way or can be flipped down to keep ears warm. I have used the hat on upland game hunts and it breathes well but isn't as cool as a mesh trucker hat or even a cotton baseball style cap. I am so overwhelming happy with the quality of the hat and it's price that I would recommend you buy it for him regardless of whether you are worried about it being too hot or not.

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.
