It just takes practice.
While I like brims that are 2.75" or more, it makes hats more aerodynamic. Here in San Francisco it can get windy often, 20-30 mph gusts and my hat becomes a UFO.
Upturned brims help a lot in the wind, which often blows from under you or from behind, so a bucket design or outback (one in my avatar) catches the wind well and it goes airborn.
Fedora with 2" - 2.5" seems to do very well, cowboy hats too, a bowler would be even better.
I think I will reserve my Leisure Time for those rainy and/or not so windy days.

You may wish to make and install a wind trolley in your most flight prone hats.

John, I thought about that, but then I didn't want to resemble My Favorite Martian
It's a bird.. it's a plane?

For me, it seems a heavy cowboy hat with rolled up sides and a Gus Crease is about the best for me in the wind.
