We’ve descended from the 5000m heights in Peru, where the ever-present bucket hat acted as an effective shield against other Queenslanders throwing snowballs, and even the llamas have trendy regalia ear piercings. Just back from the Galapagos where the hat once more held its own against the stiff competition of Panama hats, the wrinkly old Giant Tortoise could certainly use one to protect his balding bonce. Squashable, washable, and never apart, my BMWMCQ bucket hat has truly been the most important thing I’ve brought on this trip. Even more than underpants.
