A rain-hat system for use on a vehicle that includes a cowling having a fresh air inlet, a rain-hat assembly that includes a body, and a plurality of louvers is disclosed. The body has a back side for attachment to the fresh air inlet. The body also has front side to which the plurality of louvers is attached. The rain-hat assembly also includes a front, a back, a first side, and a second side. At least some of the louvers slope downwardly from the front to the back and at least some of the louvers slope downwardly from the first side to the second side. In addition, at least some of the louvers include a downwardly sloping flange attached at the first side and a downwardly sloping flange attached at the second side. Preferably the uppermost louver has a gutter defined by an upwardly angled lip.
