Whats the best hat to wear in the rain especially if you wear glasses and want to keep them clear?

[DizzyDesii]

I am not a hat person so initially I was just going to get a beanie to protect the top of my hair but then i said maybe a bucket hat to cover my glasses. I don't know i really dont want to wear a heavy rain coat and i probably won't carry an umbrella since it’ll likely blow upside down. It would decide to pour several showers closer to going out of town. But yea any recommendations? Especially since we may view this one waterfall and thats gonna leave us even more wet. We both wear glasses so preferably a hat that both a guy and girl can wear. I feel like im gonna end up looking tacky and having to wear one of my grandpas big hiking like hats 😩 #FeelFreeToList

I tried on all types of hats today. The bucket hat was sort of cute but hid most of my face lmao. Its just not my style. I didn't try on the fedora because i didn't like the material it was made of. All the dry fit baseball caps were too tight on my bigass head. The fishing hat looked silly on my like i was a cowgirl going on a safari. Surprisinly I settled for a nice rain jacket and the hidden hoodie is huuuuuge and does actually protect my glasses

Here are some hat options that could work well for keeping glasses dry in the rain:

- Bucket hat - As you mentioned, a soft bucket hat with a decent sized brim can help keep glasses shielded from rain droplets. Makes you look chill too.

- Unstructured baseball cap - A low profile baseball cap with an adjustable back can slide comfortably under glasses frames. Bonus if it's hi-vis or has a fun design.

- Packable rain hat - Look for a thin, packable poncho-type hat that folds up small. Sometimes called a "clear rain hat." Lets rain roll right off. Plus your hair stays dry underneath.

- Wide brim sun hat - Go for one with a thinner/softer brim so it doesn't look dorky. The extra coverage over glasses is handy in a downpour.

- Beanie + glasses strap - Layer a simple beanie underneath a glasses strap or band to keep frames securely in place if it's really pouring.

No need for a massive hiking hat unless you wanna look like a dorky dad, haha. Maybe just bring an option you both like and see what works best when it starts raining. Most important thing is you two stay dry and have fun!

[DizzyDesii]

Can you post some pic/links for example,

[Oliverlogan263]

Okay, here are some examples of hats that could work well for keeping glasses dry in the rain:

Bucket hat:

www.amazon.com/.../B0C5QS8L1K

This has a wide brim that will shield your glasses from rain drops coming from any direction. Looks chill too.

Baseball cap:

www.etsy.com/.../believe-women-dad-hat-embroidered

The adjustable strap in the back can hold this securely under your glasses frames. The high visibility yellow is a bonus for rainy days.

Packable rain hat:

www.gosupps.com/...-small-medium-black-bucket.html

This packs down small so it's easy to toss in a bag. The plastic brim will keep rain from hitting your face at all.

Wide brim sun hat:

www.uvskinz.com/products/womens-wide-brim-sun-hat

The brim on this is wide enough to keep glasses dry but not so big that it looks out of place. Stylish too.

I'd try out a couple options and see what works best for staying dry but not looking dorky. Hopefully these examples give you some ideas! Let me know if any of these styles catch your eye.

[DizzyDesii]

Surprisingly i like the first one. Its just gonna look like i raided my grandpas closet lol

[Oliverlogan263]

Haha no way, the bucket hat is super chill! Definitely doesn't make you look like a grandpa, more like a laid back surf girl. I think with the right outfit it would be a funny semi-hipster vibe. Definitely better than those ridiculous massive hiking hats. And it'll do the job of keeping your glasses dry for sure. If you're worried about pulling it off, maybe get it in a neutral color like khaki or gray instead of bright stripes. Then it won't be too "loud" of a look. And trust me, who cares what you look like when you're having fun with your guy on the trip anyway! As long as you both stay dry, that's all that really matters. I say go for the bucket hat, you'll rock it baby!

[DizzyDesii]

Thanks haha

[Oliverlogan263]

No problem dude! Happy I could help give you some hat options. Hope you and your guy have an awesome time on your trip, even if it does rain a bit. Don't stress too much about how you look - just focus on making memories together. And text me later to let me know how the bucket hat worked out for keeping your glasses dry! Peace!

[Oliverlogan263]

No problem luv I meant

[DizzyDesii]

The trip isn't this week lol but will do

[Oliverlogan263]

Oh haha my bad, for some reason I thought your trip was sooner! Well whenever you do end up going, be sure to hit me up and let me know how the bucket hat works out or if you end up trying a different style. And have an awesome time no matter when it is! In the meantime, don't stress too much about picking the perfect rain hat. You still got time to decide. Just keep chilling with your guy and don't let some rain ruins mess with your vibe.

[The-Stud]

This

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao im actually not mad st this

[WhiteSteve]

I’ve lived through like three or four popularity swings with bucket hats, the years fly faster than the styles last, so I don’t know if buckets are in or out right now. Wish we’d just make a call on them one way or the other😂

A baseball cap works too. I don’t know if flat-brims are cool anymore either, lmao, I’m guessing not. (Holy smokes, I’m getting old and out of touch, lmao) But if they are, that would give you the best coverage of a baseball cap style.

[DizzyDesii]

I see a lot of other girls in bucket hats when hair is worn low. Im not the type to keep up with trends tho

[electromagnetic]

BUCKET HATS UNTIL I DIE. then bury me in one too. I have a bucket hat or a brim sun hat for every weather. Even a waterproof bucket hat since I have issues with hoodies. They really do come in handy.

https://www.ca.rains.com/collections/rain-hats

[DizzyDesii]

Well daaaamn

[DizzyDesii]

The boonie hat on the site is cute

[electromagnetic]

Get an affordable one though 😅 $50 is a bit much I can agree.

[RavVid]

They all look a bit crazy but practical except the first which seems to have plastic face shield that will fog up probably.

What search turned these up? I was looking for something like them last winter.

I go for function over form so don't get your fashion advice from me I have to say.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol no this question isn't about those hats 😂 i posted that as a random update. And i searched hats that protect against the rain

[RavVid]

OK. In general a broad brimmed felt hat could work and look good.

Thanks for the search. Found some items that might be good

[DizzyDesii]

I slick want an indiana jones fedora

[TrueConfection]

I'm not a hat person either. I just wear a raincoat with a hood if an umbrella will be too cumbersome.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i hate the look of raincoats and was hoping to avoid that. Im usually a hoodie person but it doesn't protect my glasses.

[TrueConfection]

I don't wear glasses, but in my experience the hoods on raincoats come down a lot lower than hoodies

[DizzyDesii]

Damn that makes sense.

[PeachyPie93]

I'm not too sure, I don't ever wear hats. I always just wear a hoodie but yes my glasses get wet sometimes lol Maybe a baseball cap might be good.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea I've always been a hoodie person. I don't know shit about hats lol

[AviatorTom]

I wear a baseball cap. The bill keeps the rain off my face, and though the cap gets wet, my hair stays dry.

A baseball cap is also good in the sun, to shade the eyes.

[DizzyDesii]

Will it protect my glasses from getting all speckled tho?

[AviatorTom]

My glasses stay mostly unspeckled, unless it's a really hard rain.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea the way its saying 70% showers all day makes me think it’ll be hard

[AviatorTom]

All-day rain is usually just steady, maybe a few hard rains. Storms generally don't have enough energy in them to rain hard for a long time.

[Shark_61695]

I wear a fedora and it works well on both the sun and rain. Not great in high wind.
Don't wear glasses any more so can't comment on the effectiveness. Does get in the way of headphones so I switched to earbuds.

[DizzyDesii]

I love fedoras

[Joshydavid25]

You could wear on of those Japanese Samurai hats.. LOL..

Block the rain and look cool doing it..

[DizzyDesii]

I think someone else recommended that

[Joshydavid25]

I figured I wouldn't be the only one who thought about them.. Lmao..

[Curmudgeon]

It would need to be a waterproof rain hat, with enough of a brim to shield the glasses. Even if not fashionable, practical comes first.

[DizzyDesii]

Got a pic?

[Curmudgeon]

Here is one I think: Darn, i did save the pic, but I can't post it? Anyway here is a link:

www.temu.com/.../un9.html

[ShadezMcgee]

Standard baseball cap where the bill actually curves, bot those shitty snapbacks. It creates an arc over the rims to shield them.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn i actually like snapbacks but i guess the curve it is

[RedInnocent68]

You’re going to get wet either way. Embrace it. Something widebrimmed like https://tilley.com/ or a foldable, lightweight and waterproof ball cap.

[DizzyDesii]

Should i just go blind and keep my glasses in a case lol. But i actually like the wanderer hat and hikers hat on that site. Get my indiana jones on
https://tilley.com/products/t4mo-1-hikers-hat

[RedInnocent68]

Of course not. Take a cloth handkerchief to dry them.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i wanted to avoid that

[appleadayisgood]

what are you having sex with a astronaut 😂? i think the best hat would be a baseball cap no?

[DizzyDesii]

😂😂😂

[appleadayisgood]

@DizzyDesii i guess if a guy wants to cum on a girls she can just use this

[DizzyDesii]

🤣🤣.

[bowenw]

A baseball cap will work for short periods of time if it's not heavy rain, especially if it's a water resistant one.

[DizzyDesii]

I worry it’ll be heavy rain

[bowenw]

You may like a Sou'wester Fisherman's Hat.

[DizzyDesii]

Omg the hat the killer wore in I Know What You did Last Summer!!

[bowenw]

Yes. You could get a yellow one so you wouldn't be mistake for a killer.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol i’ll just look like the kid that pennywise the clown pulled down the drain in IT 🤣 jk

[bowenw]

You would. lol
Maybe a green one would be better.

[RoseySarah]

Normal trucker hat like in your picture under an umbrella ☔

[DizzyDesii]

I wanted to avoid umbrellas because some of the activities we’ll need our hands free for

[RoseySarah]

What about those Asian sun hats or the wide brim hats?

[DizzyDesii]

I’d have to see if i can google unless you have an example pic

[RoseySarah]

Go Google it sorry I'm not free to now

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i dont mind googling, its just i keep getting pics of every hat despite the specific title, so i wish everyone would post what they are referring to

[Sparkie460]

Get a motorcycle helmet with the windshield. It will keep your hair and glasses perfectly dry.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao he’d actually love this since he already has one

[Sparkie460]

Well, now he's got to get you one.

[exitseven]

Hahahaha. Too funny.

[Sparkie460]

@exitseven whaaaaat, it works

[exitseven]

Yes, so would a big plastic bag.

[Sparkie460]

Desii would have a hard time breathing inside a plastic bag.
She might pass out, fall down and land in a river then go over the water fall.

[Sparkie460]

You didn't try on the motorcycle helmet?

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao i’l try his

[nawtee_me]

Pith hat

or cowgirl…. lol. ;)

[DizzyDesii]

Ooo cowgirl! I don't know if i want the jumanji hunter one lol

[nawtee_me]

You would look good as a cowgirl I am sure of it…. If nothing else make him carry a saddle… do they make them small enough to put on him? Rofl

[DizzyDesii]

I definitely have the southern belle drawl to fit the bill of cowgirl. And saddle or not, im ready to ride him

[nawtee_me]

Those waterfalls make pretty good curtains and out in public too? lol.

[DizzyDesii]

I literally told him i’d love to fck under a waterfall someday 😂 but it won't be this one

[nawtee_me]

But you can practice at this one. lol. Get him out in the water and tease him let him know there is something about waterfalls that does it for you…. See if he doesn’t start planning trips around waterfalls….. lol

[nawtee_me]

If it were me, I would be planning those trips…. But then again if I were 25 he would have competition. lol. just saying….

[DizzyDesii]

This is my first waterfall so i ain't tryna get freaky til i see how this shit gone be 🤣 im clumsy and ain't tryna hurt myself

[nawtee_me]

See that is when you have him carry you do if he falls you can blame it all on how clumsy he is….

[DizzyDesii]

Thats actually a good one since he loves to talk about how clumsy i am 😂 but he has a bad knee after the accident

[nawtee_me]

Ah, well the roaring sound of water and the vibrations may have you feeling frisky.

[DizzyDesii]

Might just fck right there on the viewing deck

[nawtee_me]

So what hat are you going with?

[DizzyDesii]

I don't know lol. My dude wants to stick with baseball caps but i think i need more. I don't know maybe a cap paired with a hoodie could work

[nawtee_me]

Yeah if you are in the hood…. lol.
Here you go.
www.amazon.com/.../

[DizzyDesii]

I've never lived in the hood

[nawtee_me]

I just think you have better taste than a baseball cap and a hoodie. But if you all want to look like twins….

[DizzyDesii]

I think you’re doing too much. And in my city, way more white people wear that, including my guy

[nawtee_me]

Maybe so, here it is all you see on the news when they show clips of shootings and carjackings.

[FenixG45]

Considering your 3 pictures: FORGET #1! Pix #2 & #3 are OVERKILL! Do live in a monsoon or hurricane area?

I wear a Nike running cap or a more fashionable, Tilley hat (there are many for women!)

[DizzyDesii]

🤣🤣🤣

[MysticDevice]

I take my glasses off and then just have a baseball hat

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i figured i may have to take mine off but then i really won't be able to see lol

[MysticDevice]

Ah. My vision isn't that bad lol

[DizzyDesii]

Mine isn't up close but im gonna be looking at stuff thats far away and i wanna be able to see it lol

[Pink2000]

I cackled when I opened the first pic 😂😂😂.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao

[Phoenix98]

Hats with wide brims because it'll keep the rain actually out of your face and depending on how wide the brim is even your shoulders though make sure that the material is water resistant.
