LOL.  I wore a hat with the top open... once.
 
It was my favorite AOPA hat and I thought having it under the headset would help ensure it didn't come off.
 
Well... I was scanning for traffic that ATC said was less than a mile away and 1000' higher... took a look up and WOOOSH!  the headset and cap were off (I'm fairly tall - 6'1").
 
Thankfully, the headset just dangled over my right shoulder, but my cap was swirling around and around on the "hat shelf" behind me.  It took a few moments to get the windows up enough so I wouldn't have to worry about my cap making an escape.
 
I made a long reach back and retrieved it.  From now on, it sits in the passenger seat with the seatbelt through the back of it.  I know I could try to wear it backwards, but that wouldn't help shield the sun's glare and I don't want to risk my favorite hat again.  Next time, it may not choose to stay with me.  Heh.
