I like the OR hat so far. Nice and light. Even talked my brother into getting one!
Camping/Hiking hats?

Not all hats come with a chinstrap and they are kinda uncomfortable anyway....
You've all seen those "lanyards" to hang your All Access passes on at concerts, races and other events, right?
You can attach the clip to the headband at the rear or the adjustment strap/Velcro, slip the lanyard over your head and feel safe that there is no way you are going to lose that baseball or similar style cap/hat in high winds while hiking or riding in an open jeep, etc.
While it does not make for a fashion statement, you get points for originality when guys say, "Hey, that's a cool way to keep from losing your favorite hat/cap!".
Not sure how to secure a full-brim or half-brimmed one.

I have stampede strings on my work cowboy hats: https://www.davidmor...stampede-string
I have tried retaining clips but they don't feel right and don't hold as well: https://www.amazon.c...=gateway&sr=8-4
With a wind shedding shape just a slight tilt of the head into the wind takes care of the problem most of the time.

I leave it off unless it is or will be really windy.

I prefer Tilleys. The two I own are light, vented, do just fine in the wind (use the strap correctly) and are guaranteed, even against loss.
