This hat? https://smile.amazon.com/LETHMIK-Waterproof-Protection-Outdoor-Oversized/dp/B07DCQ3ZQM
I've worn this hat for a couple of ultras in the sun. Very comfortable and well ventilated. Keeps all sun off the face, ears, and neck.

I'm almost serious.
It used to be my Yankees cap, but now that I'm in Florida it's my sun hat. I cut the string off because it was annoying, but I always get compliments on it.
Also, I love Woods of Windsor stuff and switch between lily of the valley and rose (soap and cologne). Since I'm usually in jeans and t-shirts it reminds me that I'm a chick. :D

It’s not a high quality item, but it should work to block the sun and hits that “fuck it” level of spousal embarrassment.
Mine literally came in today. I have my wifes work picnic on Wednesday so I am set.
Quality wise, it definitely feel cheaper than I had hoped. The springs in the clasps are pretty weak and the cording and nylon feel cheap.
I want a fuckit hat, but for now, this will do and eventually the stars will align and I will get the real thing.

I own a pool business so I'm outside all the time. I bought hat this last week and it's amazing. Keeps my head cool and the sun off of my face, neck, and shoulders. I'm incredibly white so I need all the help hiding from the sun I can get.

Not saying it's a bad idea but they kind of do have that hat already

The problem for really crazy campers - they likely already own all the gear. It's very possible you'll end up buying a lower quality or inferior item compared to what they already have / want. This is common for buying an item for any hobby, when you are going in blind.
It really is best if you could get some info from your friend about what they want / need. A category like - I need a new cook set, or I have been looking for a great hat. Something to narrow it down. Otherwise this stab in the dark is likely to miss the mark.

All that said... here are a few random ideas for someone into camping (campground style):
​
'cheap' stuff can also make fun gifts. Campers generally need these things always:
Or go all out and buy them a Yeti cooler and 2 EZ-Up canopies!!
​
This is one of my favorite websites for shopping. They are more focused on backpacking style gear - but it's still great stuff for all types of campers. Small shops selling high quality stuff. Get a fanny pack! Check it out:

​
I'd skip the 'junk' that is often advertised for campers. Stuff like:
There are some great versions of these items, but the vast majority advertised online are terrible. If you get from this list, do some serious research to avoid the bogus affiliate marking lies.

Can't tell if it's a cork overlay on nylon or full cork sewed to mesh, but it's cheap enough to just buy and try.
I have 4 hats like that boonie hat. They are good and durable, but if you are somewhere warmer, then expect to sweat under them. http://www.amazon.com/Frogg-Toggs-FTH101-12-Bucket-Hat/dp/B005H2DXNC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397571009&sr=8-1&keywords=frogg+togg+hat I use one of these. not as durable, but I only wear them on backpacking trips, and the first one i bought has lasted 2 trips so far with so sign of wear.
Also this hat. It's ridiculously huge, but keeps the sun off my neck and ears.

Sorry, nope, but it is about 36 inches in diameter, so not that small like maybe you expected. Here is one of many similar links: Umbrella hat I will say that as sold it is heavier than 9 oz and the head harness cuts into one's scalp. But I toss the harness saving weight and blood. BTW, the typical non-carbon shaft umbrella sixmoonsdesign (and other brands) is 9 oz, too.
I would invest in some wide-brimmed hats for your outdoor work! Can you wear a hat? Something like this, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IDEH778/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_S1hVAbPTE3XKG.
I sit outside and bake all summer, watching my kids swim in our pool. I use various sunscreens, and wear fishermen hats. I have used Cotz, elta md, and Badger sunscreen all with good results. I can’t get sun either, as I have sun damaged skin and redness too...due to over-exfoliation, sensitive skin, and horrible use of sunscreen when I was younger 😬 I wear a long-sleeved rash guard shirt by the pool too :)
here Spring stop toggle or a cord lock.
Well I think the generic term for this type of hat is "10 Gallon Hat". That one looks exaggerated and with waist belts around it instead of rope.

this article might be of interest since you are probably looking for more stylistic versions of it rather than authentic cowboy hats:

I like a blaze orange hat for this.

You know that they're attracted to to color orange, don't you?
A bug mesh hat costs about the same as Deet.
