What's the point of hats with a "Aussie style fold up brim"?

[Herman30]

From my own experience I can say that I feel cooler if my ears are shaded by a brim vs wearing a ball cap.

What's the point of hats with a "Aussie style fold up brim"? Tilley T3 for example.

Because kangaroos always attack from the left!

Except in the cold (-20C), I wear an Outback Trading Kodiak hat. Waxed canvas and a wire rim.
I don't need to shoulder arms such that the barrel hits the brim. That's a wasted second when working fast moving game.
If it's windy, I'll add the rodeo strings and jam it on securely. Rarely an issue in our forests.

Just yesterday was looking at Akubra and Stetson for a seriously good hat.

I have an Akubra Snowy River, it’s my second, great hat, but I find it too warm in the summer. Used mainly for walking the dog, when we had one, in the rain as I don’t like wearing a hood.
I keep thinking about a Tilley but talk myself out of it.
For Scouting in the rain I have a BP style hat
I have a Stetson too, but that’s just for watching Country Music in.
