I find a hat better for dealing with the rain, but that could be because I'm in the Puget Sound area. We get a lot of rainy days, but it is usually not heavy rain. The annoyance if getting my clothes a little wet is less than the annoyance of having to hold an umbrella.
The only part of a light rain that is really annoying is wet glasses, and a hat deals with that nicely.
Yeah, I started wearing a hat a lot more when I moved to Seattle. It almost never rains hard enough for an umbrella, but it often drizzles hard enough for a hat.
