I will inquire about the Borsalino I posted whether it is really travel ready.
This still leaves me with a solution for the summer months. Last summer I got quite a disagreeable sunburn on my scalp. It is not easy putting lotion there, either. Makes the remaining hair very greasy. I'll most likely end up with a Kangol 504 summer model. But my GF says it makes my head look too round.

That Borsalino does look nice, though it's a bit pricey. As for lotion, I recommend Neutregena Sunblock. It's SPF 75, blocks UV A and B and is not, in the least, greasy. It also doesn't smell like sunblock. As a former melanoma patient, I need to keep the sun off me at all costs, and this stuff does the trick.
