go to a golf store and get a woven straw golf hat. They give good coverage, are lightweight, cool, and most have an elastic brim which helps when the wind is blowing.
Price is usually good as well.

A little cooler hat. And Gore-Tex and several colors.

Columbia hats are hard to beat I just wish they could find a way to make the brim a little more rigid.

Check it out. Looks to be a good deal price wise....

Thanks for all the feedback, I bought one of the one's at Academy.

Have a good one.

Like this (not the same one but similar) with a hurricane strap. Paid $15 on ebay

The problem I have run into with most of the wide brim style or with the neck protection is that they are all quick drying. I would like to find one that actully holds the water as long as possible to help keep cool.

I like a Tilley T3 It's the best outdoor hat I've found hands down. They last forever look good and are very comfortable.

Kelkays got a mullet

This is serious business, I watched my Dad have a third nostril cut trying to get some cancer rot out of his skin before it spread. I have several hats and long sleeve fishing shirts, as I am trying to learn from his lessons. I found a camo booney with a 4" brim at the surplus store on 75 and beltline. I also have a tan one with a 2" brim. It is really not enough. My favorite is a palm leaf made by resistol. I got it at Tractor supply, I think it is a George Straight style, but not sure. The tilley's are the standard adventure hats, with a good reputation and lore. If the resistol had a dark color under the brim it would be perfect, but look silly.

I wear the Tilley Airflow LTM3. They're expensive but they have a lifetime gaurantee.

Also go get some of those neckerchief things that you soak in cold water and they swell up. They last a good while and keeps your neck cool. You wouldn't believe how cool they make your whole body feel when ya slap one of those cold suckers on. Keep 2-3 in the ice chest and change em out and STAY cool.

Don't forget this little accessory for your hat:
