Often I also employ an umbrella in addition to a good hat to keep the desiccating sun rays at bay.
That umbrella idea is a great one. I resorted to doing that earlier this year, when backpacking through a rural, remote part of Colombia in extreme heat & humidity, with no shade. It definitely helped avoid a bad end result.
