'Tis the time for the annual dihydrogen monoxide inundation! Most weekdays, I walk between four and eight miles a day, most of which is outside, so I need to protect my brain from nature's efforts to make it soggy.

Are you looking for a fashionable hat or a rain hat? Because, they are rarely the same thing. And rain hats only over your head.

I'm a fan of Ivy Caps but they only have a brim to cover your face, probably not the best in a storm.

Well, I hate to just do a google search for you, but:

This website describes different styles in pictures. Just make sure whatever hat you get isn't going to shrink in the rain, or react poorly to getting crushed into a backpack (if you'd be doing that).
That should get you started.
