Other than that I would think it would mostly be worn while hiking to keep in some heat in the cooler months or protect from sun (attic insulation is getting a bit thin )

But it sounds like the vote is for the solid green, if needed.
If you are going to be wearing headgear for more "casual" outings, I would suggest the balmoral over the glengarry. Whilst neither is ideally suited for protection against the sun, the glengarry is worse than the bonnet in regards to sunburns.

I agree with you about no covers and looking "incomplete". I used to wear a bonnet with formal "rig" though.
