My hat of choice...wear it everytime and it works great!

This one caught my attention being waterproof and UV rated:

These are super popular in my hometown and probably your most effective choice:

You gotta have the right hat for the right situation...The mexican sombrero for those south of the border trips...the classic cowboy hat for trout fishing...the coolie hat for those Asian trips...and the always 'fashionable and cool' lifeguard hat for those So Cal beach trips...
