Not ben running long so have not run in the sun yet really. Ran a 10k today and did have a hot head despite being in technical shorts and tshirt. A few runners were wearing baseball caps so was wondering if they would be a good idea? I am thinking that they might make my head hotter especially the thick cotton ones so would like to know if others wear them or recommend any.

I've got a hitech wickable hat too and this isn't as good as a cotton sun hat in very very hot weather... but in normal warm weather it is great - and doesn't look so silly as a old fashioned "sun hat"... If you are in any doubt about whether or not to run in a hat when it gets hot - check out the ultimate hot race web site!! www.saharamarathon.co.uk
..."in your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, yopu'd be the grandest fellow in the local 10K"...
Oooh even scans too!
There are loads around - look for a wicking one. Most of them have vents in the head bit so you don't overheat.
Just be careful on windy days or you can end up chasing it down the street when it flies off.

We may have to agree to disagree on the 'stylish' aspect.
Headsweats ones are decent, light and breathable. Look 'fly' when worn backwards and the extra peak covers the neck up
