When fishing here in the Keys, we need protection from the reflection off the water as much as the sky. Most of us will now ware hats, gloves, long sleeves & long pants. I bet 1/2 my fishing neighbors have skin cancer. Go to a party and you see lots of white spots healing....
I ware one similar to this. It has a velcro tab'd skirt so you can take it of and almost look civil. The problem with boonie style is the wind is always trying to flip it off. Some of the skirt'd hats have Velcro tabs so you can wrap it around to the front. It looks real geekie,, but you need the protection..

I also ware a Tula large brim straw for more social functions.. These are light, soft, and well made, from Mexico. One of the importers attended a PoonTangle and gave away 40 hats.. This is the one I snapped up..
