Question: What kind of hat gives the best protection from the sun?
Answer: Broad-Brim or Bucket Hats
When temperatures are scorching , a sun hat can provide some much needed heat relief. But it does more than keep you cool...It can shield you from the sun's harmful, sun-burn-causing ultraviolet rays. In addition to slathering on sunscreen, many people forget to don a hat.
The WIDE BRIM HAT - is the best in terms of sun protection. The wider the brim the better. The brim will shade your neck, ears and shoulders from UV rays, plus reflect rays from water and sand. the good news is this style of hat has been seen all over the runways, making them fashionable as well as practical.
Next up the BUCKET HAT - You don't have to be a fisherman to don a bucket hat. This old school style has gotten a modern update in recent years and popularity is booming. Make sure yours has at least a 2-3 inch brim all the way around to protect your face and ears. It should has a non-reflective underside to the brim, which can keep UV rays from reflective surfaces such as water, away from your face.
Keep in mind the sun is strongest from 10 a.m. to 3 or 4 p.m. It is best practice to wear in sunny or cloudy weather. Dress for the boat or the beach, but anywhere you are outdoors is important. Tennis, pickle ball, or a walk in the park.
The hat mixed with a good sunscreen will protect your beautiful skin and enhance your WOW factor!

I love the look of bucket hats but never thought they looked very well on myself but this spring/summer I don’t care. As I’m getting older the more I want to cherish my skin. Thanks for the read!
I received this hat as a gift last summer and got so much use out of it since it fit perfectly in my purse!
Love my Baggu bag. I am very sun sensitive so I think I may need one of these easy to pack, wide brimmed hats in my life for yard work & the many camping trips we have planned this summer! Also gives me an excuse to order a few other cute things from the shop at the same time. 😄
Thank You for these hats. I will never be without. Easy to pack, doesn’t take up any space. I LOVE them.
These hats are so fun and fashionable. My mom, dad sisters & I love floating in the boat wearing our new Baggu hats. Who would have thought protection from the sun could be so awesome. Thanks Kelly Lewis Cards & Gifts.
