At altitude here in Colorado we need to wear a hat to either prevent severe brain freeze in the winter or skin cancer all year long.

I understand that there are certain occasions where a hat is not to be worn so all I'm looking for would be outdoor occasions.
A fair question. I think that I have gone on record to say that in extremes of temperature, when frankly fashion,culture,heritage or,whatever should and must take second place. For extreme heat the Panama, Australian "slouch" hat, or, a topee would do nicely and for extreme cold well, how about one of those Russian army type things that sit on top of your head when things aren't too bad and can be folded down over you ears and around your neck thing, when things start getting chilly?
