The squatchee of a baseball hat can be a real pain if you don't have a centered vent hole too.
And the bills of baseball hats can be too large.
And unless you get a mesh baseball hat, they are often hot.
And few baseball hats have neck coverage, which some Da Brims do. Of course, you can buy an inexpensive neck cover to add onto your inexpensive baseball hat.
Or you could just get a Da Brim.
Finally, last I looked, there are inexpensive cycling caps (without the *gasp* extra cost logo) that are just as inexpensive as inexpensive baseball hats.
But *some* people are more likely to sneer at someone wearing a cycling cap. (Or, I would guess, sneer at someone wearing a Da Brim.)
My advice? Wear what ya wanna. I wear a headsweats without a bill, but there are headsweats with bills. And don't overthink it.
