I worked on a dirt job down in the Mojave just above the Mex border. Brutal heat, best thing I found was one of those pith helmets like the British wore in Africa. Noticeably cooler than straw or white plastic hardhat. Got ribbed about it, but before the job was over, several of them were seen.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
Barmah 1057 Canvas Drover is what I wear. It's also collapsible for storage. It has sun protection in the front and is the coolest temp wise I've found. LINK
I like my ultralight boonie. It's made of some very thin polyester like coolmax. I don't normally like polyester, but this kind is so thin that it actually breaths. I like the camo too. It's brand is Enduracool. The company says to wet it and the.evaporation will cool it. I never noticed that, but the only cooler hat is a visor with open top and a breeze.
PS:. I added velcro tabs to the sides so its more stylish going into the stores, or when ears don't need covered. You could do the same with any boonie using snaps, buttons or a cord if you want.
Not sure why you'd remove cowboy hats from contention. My vote goes to the Resistol Straw with leather sweatband. I'm not sold on the Dri-Lex sweatband just yet.
