If you have the flaps up your ears will get sunburned and if you have the flaps down you'll cut off the breeze and get bit warm.
However a local Scot, Colin Gordon, invariably wore that type of hat, kilted, when performing at our local Highland Games. He was the founder of The Scottish Fiddlers of Los Angeles, said to be the first Strathspey & Reel Society outwith Scotland.
AHA! The trick there is to wear the flaps on the baggy side, just don't have the flaps tied up too tight at the top.
