Keep your head dry in the rain and you have won most of the battle.
  • Waterproof hats or caps - made with Gore-tex or other laminates/treatments.

  • Rain hats of vinyl or rubberized coatings are fine, your head rarely will notice that they are not breathable.
  • Spray your favorite cap or hat with Scotchguard fabric treatment or similar fabric treatments to make them waterproof. This wears off, but you can reapply it periodically.
  • Cheap plastic rain hoods are available everywhere, if you can stand the fashion statement.
  • In a pinch, a showercap would work.
