I used to wear baseball caps but due to getting ears and back of neck sunburned I switched to brimmed hats for all-around protection.
At the Las Vegas Highland Games (and any Games in the southwestern quadrant of the USA) you'll see cowboy hats, Panama hats, Tilly hats, bucket hats, anything and everything that keeps the sun off- even the occasional Kitchener helmet!
Three X-Markers at the Sacramento Highland Games a few years back, all with Tilly hats.
More X-Markers at the Loch Norman Highland Games, where I'm wearing a tweed bucket hat, my go-to hat these days.
