CONTESTED PARTIAL

Is it true that wearing a hat prevents heat stroke during exertion in hot weather?
Partly. One public-health agency lists a brimmed hat among general heat-illness precautions for outdoor workers, while a walking study under solar radiation found head protection did not significantly change core temperature, sweat rate or dehydration, only scalp skin temperature. Neither source directly tests whether hats prevent heat stroke during exertion.
