You've gotta get this monster Tilley model - it's a veritable umbrella!

It's ok, but seriously, the tightly woven straw hat I have has a
broader brim. I don't have a picture or I'd post it...

Depends on your needs. I need ONE hat that will also keep the rain off. The
Tilley doesn't fail unless I'm in a downpour for about 3 hours. A straw hat
would be a sad mess by that point.
