The demand for stylish and effective sun hats for men has increased as more outdoor activities involve exposure to the sun. There are several ways to both look good and protect yourself from harmful UV rays.<\/p>\n
All sun hats have the same purpose: to block harmful sun rays from your head, face, neck and shoulders. There are many styles to choose from, most named after the area of the world where they originated. For example, the famous\u00a0Panama hat\u00a0has a brim that is about five inches wide and is usually made out of straw. On the other hand, the\u00a0Bora-Bora booney hat from Columbia Sportwear has only a three inch brim, and is made out of nylon\/polyester fabric.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It\u2019s important to think about where you\u2019re going to be using the sun hat and how long you\u2019re going to be there when you\u2019re picking out your headgear. The longer you are out in the sun, the more width you\u2019re going to need in order to block the sun longer. Keep in mind that it will always shine on your face and neck for a time during sunrise or sunset, so sunscreen is needed even if you have a huge\u00a0El Ranchero Style hat.<\/p>\n
While straw hats are very common and inexpensive, canvas and cotton are also good materials for sun hats because of their breathable quality. The\u00a0\u201cCharter\u201d style sun hat\u00a0has more of a canvas look to it, with mesh slits to provide extra ventilation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Hats in the Belfry\u00a0doesn\u2019t have the extremely wide-brimmed sun hats for men but does borrow from many classic styles. For example, the\u00a0Expedition\u00a0is modeled after the Australian Outback hats worn by drovers, while the\u00a0Seneca\u00a0has a \u201cdownturn\u201d brim modeled after the hat worn by Sean Connery in the Indian Jones movie. The\u00a0Stetson Airway\u00a0is more reminiscent of an African hunter, but includes the more high-tech element of a mesh crown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If style is not your primary concern, there are several designs for outdoor hats that include sun protection along with other features.\u00a0REI\u2019s collection of hats\u00a0include many that convert between \u201ccap\u201d style hats (with a brim only in the front) to full-protection with add-on \u201ccapes\u201d. This trend leads to styles such as the\u00a0Sahara Cadet, which is reminiscent of the French Foreign Legion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
You can also find similar hats on many bargain internet sites such as\u00a0Mountain Gear. Hats are often on sale for as low as half price. While you\u2019re taking a risk that the hat won\u2019t fit, most online sites include a hassle-free return policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
According to the\u00a0WebMD, prolonged exposure to the sun may cause melanomas, carcinomas, brown spots, wrinkles, and other kinds of \u201csun damage.\u201d It just makes sense to add a little style to your summer wardrobe and protect yourself at the same time.
