I like "pith helmets", the kind made with very open weave material.
About like shade cloth. Wider brims would be nicer, it looks like they
have only about 2" brims. I have no trouble with wind even without a
chin strap. Sorry, can't give you a URL, but I'm sure that they're
available.

Well, I just googled on "pith helmet" and got this:

They claim its a 2.5" brim. It looks just like mine.
