Looks like a good way to guarantee that you’d walk the Camino alone.
It is a hard shell, so it doesn’t fold up, can’t be put in a pocket or otherwise ‘travel’ well. It actually doesn’t even provide good sun coverage, which is the primary purpose of a Camino hat.
Sunday Afternoon has nice light hats, that fold down, provide good coverage, and will not make people change seats on the bus, if you sit next to them. I think this is the one I bought.

If you suffer from the heat…if I may suggest, go to industrial worker wear websites, and they offer functional products…so long as you can do without someone adding the word ‘camino’
for marketing purposes, check out:

for their cooling products. These workwear providers supply gear for people working outdoors in the deserts of Arizona, Nevada, etc.
I am in agreement with David 100% (at risk of sounding unpatriotic) that Tilley hats are overrated, overpriced, and will overheat you. But sorry, can’t go for the pith helmet thing…though I am sure that it does merit a journal entry by all the pilgrims you meet.
PS, I do have my own dress eccentricities however, I am somewhat OCD about hi vis material, so have had my own share of quizzical looks.
