lol JK, I dont know about the " blinders" , seems like they would be annoying and would probably interfere with either shooting or hearing. What kind of hat do you wear? I learned a long time ago that baseball caps are very poor hunting hats. A full brim hat like a " Jones style" or perhaps a " Boonie" or " Outback" (and dont dismiss a full on " cowboy" hat) will offer much better performance in the outdoors. I prefer a 2.5" brim similar to the Outback style known as the " Plantation Hat" from McAlister, but I have many more. You can shape them and turn the rear down slightly to block the light behind you that you mentioned. I personally think they offer better concealment, protection from weather and what the heck... just plain more " stylin and profilin" ! I am frequently moving, canting and reshaping my hat to protect my face and eyes from direct sun. Its simple physics that you can see better when your eyes are in shadows as you look out into a brightly lit area. These hats can also be used to knock the wind out of your eyes. Huntin in the rain is much easier as well with such hats. No more noisy rainsuit hoods that eliminate your hearing and I ESPECIALLY love no more water running down the back of my neck and UNDER my waterproof coats!
