I have a hard cap, it looks like a normal baseball cap but has some protection. It came from B&Q, but Jewsons sold them too. A downside is that it has reflective material sewn into the seams.

On a related note, a US company sells a baseball cap with a weight sewn into the back, they claim that you can grasp the peak and deliver an effective strike to an assailants head with it. Seems a little ambitious, but bear in mind that a small "sap" was a favoured weapon of many US policemen and they were trusting their lives to it, so maybe the cap sap isn't as silly as it sounds.
