This might sound like a silly question but I am looking for light weight foldable hat with stiff brim. Most such hats come with a floppy brim which I don't like. Other features I would like are a concealable chin strap that can be used in windy conditions.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

oh this is an easy one to deal with.
I have just the place for you to go ... the best $32 you'll ever spend.
I've had so many comments about this hat on four trips to South America that I ended up buying one and posting it to my guide on a recent trip to Peru.
