Flat cap - I've got a wide-brimmed hat but they're rubbish for moving about in the woods and getting through undergrowth because they keep getting snagged up.
The flat cap stays on better and still offers a bit of protection from brambles/spikey stuff.

I used to always wear my Australian suede bush hat, even when heading into town.
At Uni I got nickname Indi (as in indian jones as it was a similar stlye)
Unfortunatly my sister set fire to it and I haven't been able to find a replacement yet.
So far this winter I've been wearing an icebreaker beenie hat and my winter furry hat tp keep my ears warm.
I've even been wearing my buff as a hat in the house when the temps got down to 3C inside!

Neat hat Barn Owl. Judging by it's backward slope you must be paddling at high speed

I wear an Australian style hat every now and then - though it needs to be justified, i.e. sunny/wet
around town if it's cold I wear a thin wool black watch style hat.

'nother flat cap wearer. Tried brimmed hats in winter, but you're constantly worried about flying off and if I'm working and builkding up a sweat I can take it off and stick it in a pocket. Wear a tilley type hat in summer or a straw one if it's really hot.
Stetson Open Road in the summer, wool tweed 8 piece paperboy style cap in winter. I don't go outside without a hat of some kind.
Rarely ever go out without a hat. If I'm going to a sports event I try to wear the team's hat. I've also got an Akubra Snowy River that is awesome as well as a black Sretson 3 1/2 inch brim. Both are great in the woods are about town. Got a wool flat cap from Filkins Woolen Mills (I need a couple more of those or a waxed cotton one) SOmehow I lost my Dad's pith Safari hat/helmet that he wore all through Panama and Central America. I remember him always wearing that hat when I was growing up. I did manage to get a replacement though and this Summer I plan to wear it extensively to put sweat stains and such on it. Then I intend to mount it on the wall over his crossed machetes (they're the real one he aquired and carried in Panama and Mississippi) I'm lucky about hats blending in here. I'm surrounded by a 30-60 mile military reservation to the South that's open to public recreation; a State Park to the North and West that spans 3 counties and a National park to the north that spans 3 Alabama counties. It's also a redneck area overlapped by a huge military presence al of whom are outdoor, hat wearing people (I fit in perfectly being a retired military redneck myself. LOL)

Personally I love baseball caps (the good ones anyway, not the cheap plastic mesh things) but the Akubras are brilliant.

I did have a lovely Stetson until the mrs decided it needed a wash and chucked it in the machine
Still waiting on her buying me a replacement
Have you called a priest to have her demons exosized!?
I wear a Wool Watch Cap, got it on a climbing trip to the lakes about 5 years ago. Just would not be without it, I keeping thinking of getting a new one but I feel I am being a little bit unfaithful, as it has seen me though some bad weather.
