It seems to me that one attractive alternative would be an umbrella hat:
but the coverage is less than ideal. (That model may also be offensive to US hockey fans.)
Does anyone have experience using umbrellas in the backcountry?
Does that come in red, white and blue with a rock shield?

I'd agree. Sometimes it rains in Washington. If I was stationary and belaying, maybe, just maybe I'd want one. But when I'm actually on the move, no thanks. A little rain (even a lot of rain) isn't going to hurt me. I'll dry out.
Now that's an understatement
