What sort of hat do you wear?

What kind(s) of hat do you wear to:

1) keep warm during the winter with top down
2) maximum protection from the sun during the summer

I see people with baseball caps, but I think they provide very little protection in either case.

I wear a ball-cap. Not crash-rated so i don't rely on it to give me protection

Make sure you turn your baseball caps around backwards, its better aerodynamics.

Porsche BB cap, white or black depending on how hot it is.

I like the Indiana Jones idea!

If you turn your BB around backwards, the Porsche police are allowed to take your car away!

I wear a ball cap. I always wear one with a logo of the car I am NOT driving, ie, when I drive the BMW, I wear a Porsche hat, etc.

I like looking confused!

I am not much of a hat fan...I have big ears...baseball caps just kinda accentuate the fact .

Hmmmm..

Why would you put a hat on when you're driving a car with the top down? Seems kind of errrrrr.......stupid? If you're worried about the sun, then why put the top down?

Unless you're driving for hours, I don't quite get it
