Water proofing?

Just wondering on how water proof hats can be and how well the x quality maters , and felt-straw difference? After about 1 hour in rain with my 3x it fell flat and I had to dry it out reshape it and harden it back up and it looks rough and fuzzy now would hate to work on it every rain shower but ,I don’t have $35 in it so i don’t care , but with approaching straw season I haven never owned a good straw hat how water resistant are they? And is it really necessary to have a super high X felt to fight rain , I’m sure a 1000x would to better then my 6x Stetson but that price is a little crazy. How to most people deal with rain and their hats both felt /straw? Thanks 🙏
