Tilley Endurables LTM6 Airflo Hat

I really enjoy a good hat and this is my third Tilley LTM6 Airflo hat. I now have them in Khaki, Olive and Black so I'm covered with this hat in most outfits, in most situations. I have several other Tilley hats too,(and hats from other brands as well, including Stetson, Jaxon, Bailey and the like) for different weather situations at different times of the year, but the LTM6 Airflo is one of my favorite hats and versatile enough to wear often. The hat is light and comfortable but made with high quality materials and robust stitching so it holds up to wind and weather very well. It is perfectly designed to protect you from the elements while being a breeze to wear. The airflow feature at the top of the hat keeps your head cool and comfortable in the summer but lets in very little water if you happen to be caught in a rainstorm. Great design. This hat also has an outstanding design for the one piece chin and back of the head strap which is easily adjustable to fit perfectly and work very well. I've worn my Tilleys on power boats going 40 mph+ and in other very windy conditions. With the chin and back strap properly deployed, the hat stayed snugly on my head. I also like the classic Tilley pocket stitched into the inside top of the hat. I keep a few bucks in a plastic pouch there in case of emergencies and I can carry my driver's license and credit card there too if I'm traveling very light. I highly recommend the Tilley line of hats. They're all excellent but I like the LTM6 Airflo in particular. If necessary, go to Tilley's website and carefully follow their sizing guide. A Tilley should sit a little loose on your head and is designed to be most comfortable and functional with that fit. For my first LTM6, I brought a size 7-1/4 as that is usually my normal hat size. I liked it very much and wore it a lot, however, after wearing that size for a year, I purchased my next two LTM6 hats at 7-1/2 and the slightly looser fit feels much more comfortable. I used a hat stretcher to stretch my first one and that fits better now although I have to occasionally re-stretch it as the hat wants to return to its original size. Again, a very, very well made hat. If you are new to Tilley hats be aware they can be conversation starters in public. Tilley owners notice Tilleys on other people and the response may vary from a respectful nod of recognition in passing to a full blown conversation if you invite it with the simple comment, "Nice hat!" I personally always notice a Tilley when I see one and my opinion of the wearer is usually that they are a person of good taste with an appreciation of the finer things in life. Highly recommended!!

This is my 3rd Tilley hat. I wear them on the golf course. I hesitated on the first one because they are expensive but a recommendation from a friend got me to take the plunge. They are fitted hats so you get your exact size. There isn't any elastic to pull against your head or a drawsting to size it. That means the hat sits like its supposed to and is comfortable all day. They wear exceedingly well. My first hat is 3 years old but it still looks great. They wash easily (they give you some suggestions but I just wash mine by hand in the sink and let them drip dry). They have a lifetime guarentee and I can see why, they just don't seem to wear at all. They are light weight which contributes to their comfort. They look better than any other hat I've tried. They come with some tie strings for windy coniditions, but I've rarely needed them, again because you're going to get an exact fit, they are going to stay on in most conditions. The best hats and worth the money. Read more

A great hat when you order the correct size! Read more

My 2013 LTM6 still works great. I recently washed it, and it really looks like new! I decided to get a second one as a backup and because I like the nearly white stone color (my older hat is khaki/olive. Frankly, I'm only wearing this new hat. It's lightweight, it fits perfectly, and it gives terrific sun protection compared to my usual choice of a baseball cap. My old LTM6 has a hidden cloth that folds down and protects your neck, a feature missing from the new hat. Good thing I've rarely if ever used that extra protection. If you're outside during the summer in a hot climate like mine (Austin TX), you need this Tilley hat. Read more

Four stars is tentative because the hat appears to be well made. My head measures 23 1/4". The provided sizing chart shows size 7 3/8 for a head size of 23 1/8" and size 7 1/2 for a head size of 23 1/2" so I thought a size 7 1/2 would be correct. It isn't, the hat is too small. I'm in the process of returning the hat and ordering a size 7 5/8. A plus, initiating a free return through UPS was straightforward. Read more

Folks: I have a few of these hats and they all work great and when I go to see my doctor who takes care of my skin, the last things she says to me every visit is don't go anywhere without your hat. I wear one if I am outside, no exceptions. I never wore a hat, it would mess up my hair, yes that was me, and now I have to wear a hat all the time. So, I got a Tilly hat for the first time at of all places, a flea market, and what a deal that was. I love it for day one, and now it is about the only one I will get. Yes, they are a little pricy, but how many good things in your life, don't cost more than many others. But you can find bargains sometimes so look for them when you can but really the price in not that high anymore, so great deal for the money. I will have only one suggestion, I have a green one, a tan one, a off white one, and I have only one that people almost everyone I meet for the first, time, they say, wow, I love that hat. Some will even ask you if you would get rid of it to them. NO, NO, NO. It is the Navy Blue one, take my word for it, you will get remarks. Good Luck. Bob Read more

This is my 5th Tilley. I’ve worn them for travels all over the world, for yardwork, golf and fishing. I bought this one for an overseas trip where rain chances were high on several days. I sprayed it generously with Scotchguard to improve its water repellent qualities. On sunny days it protected my face and neck from the sun. On rainy days I did not have to worry about getting water on my hearing aids. This hat will last a long time unless you lose it, give it away or drop it on your mower manifold 😬 Read more
