Hey, I know that guy. I like cowboy hats for toodling about. The one pictured in your link, or here in action: http://www.flickr.com/photos/targetsalad/1636627046/ is pretty great for summer, has an adjustable brim for wide vs. narrow adjustments, it has a chin strap for scorching and has only got moderately floppy at speed over the years. In the winter or rain I use a regular cowboy hat, but they need to fit well to stay on during cycling: http://www.flickr.com/photos/targetsalad/3352831632/
It is a close call between helmet and widebrimmed hat here at 7500 feet with the sun missing a mile and a half of filtering atmosphere vs sea level.
