Love it.

My wife and I were in Englasd last September.  I wore my Tilley everywhere
outdoors and it was great!

The day we went to the Tower of London it was raining like the end of the
world.  Not wanting to get an M6 wet I opted for the Digilux.  The camera
is so small and the brim of the hat so wide I was able to take pics in a
pouring rain and keep both of us dry.

Call me a snob (I know I'll regret saying that) but the Tilley and the M6
go together, a fortuitous mix of functional designs.
