In parts of Australia where sunshine and falling rocks strike about equally hard, it's not unusual to see a combination hard-hat/bush- hat, often featuring a shade cloth down the back like the ones on foreign-legionnaire kepis.

What about drop-bears ? Do the hats protect against those, too ?

Are there corks on strings round the brim ?
