It seems like ages ago that I got my first SeV Tec Hat, and since then mine has come along on trips to Thailand, Mexico, Big Bend, Schlitterbahn, and even just the backyard. It’s almost a given that if I am outside doing anything, my hair is in a ponytail and I’ll be wearing my stone colored TEC hat.
I love that there are two pockets which can hold a spare bit of cash, my ID, and a key — which is especially handy when I am hiking, hanging out at the beach, or whatever. The TEC hat can even handle going through the wash without shrinking or losing its shape.
Scott Jordan just gave me twelve of them to give away; one of them went into our HUGE Holiday Grand Prize giveaway (along with many other goodies!), but there are still eleven of them that need new homes.
How can you win one of them? Read on …

Hiking at Big Bend

2. Tweet the following phrase: If I win a @scottevest TEC Hat http://is.gd/5u7CM , I’ll use it to carry my ________ when I ______. <- and just fill in the blanks with whatever you think of.
It’s that simple. Your tweet will be tracked, and we will draw ELEVEN random winners from all entries. I’ll close this giveaway on the 31st, and we will announce the winners on January 1st, 2010. I am opening this contest to our readers all over the world, so get in your entry, and good luck!




If I win a @scottevest TEC Hat http://is.gd/5u7CM, I’ll use it to carry my practice plan when I coach youth hockey.
My head and maybe aluminum foil (keeps them from listening you know).
LOL Priceless!
@stevenshytle – If you haven't already – be sure to enter by tweeting! Great answer, by the way.
