the back gets a bit hot but this beats the issue with full brim hats, which is sitting in a car and having the back hit the chair.
I use picrel

my issues with boonies is the brim length is always shorter in length then a brimmed hat. Need 3" minimum, but preferably 3.5"
I find Tilley makes hats for this, sunday afternoon, rei hat as picrel, and outdoor research. the OR sombrero's fit the bill and have a waterproof version too.
I have to use hats for work every day as a lookout, and being high up in elevation makes the need to block the sun even stronger as work can go from sun up to sun down.
Boonies overall are too short in length, and work as a one size fits all, master of none option.
During winter, I like the wool ski caps used in Europe. It's a wool field cap. Most caps make my head itch and these don't. I can just wear a wool beanie over the cap too for colder days. Stormy Kromer caps, though they cover your ears, just have too short of a brim length, again.
