You need passive shielding to stop the cosmic rays from causing DNA and
cellular damage, so the hat should be lead, about three feet thick or
so.  Actually I need to run the numbers for lead against a 1 GeV
particle running 87% the speed of light to get the exact thickness. 
Three feet seems like a good start.

This same hat would help against a neutron bomb detonation, as long as
you were in a concrete bunker.
