The Setup: I've been a rabid South Park fan since the I first saw it in 1997 (the volcano / Scuzzlebutt episode, for those of you who are "in the know". One day while Anita and I were browsing in some store, I stumbled upon the ultimate pelagic leader hat. The price was about 20 bucks, which is pretty high for a baseball cap, but Anita (sweet thing that she is) convinced me that I simply must have it, whatever the cost. It has become my constant pelagic companion, and the only time I don't wear it on trips is when I need something warmer on my head. (If only I could find the same design on a fleece cap!)
As you can see, it's getting a bit worse for wear, but here's a picture of me wearing my favorite pelagic hat while involved in one (actually two since I'm on a pelagic trip) of my favorite activities (thanks George!):
