Sunday Afternoons Sun Guide Cap

This hat is light, cool, incorporates SPF-50 protection and on a scorching day in the boat or float tube, it protects a balding pate, ears, back of the neck and sides of the face from getting roasted. The underside of the brim is dark, which helps to see into the water since light isn’t reflecting off a light-colored surface into your line-of-sight. The venting and mesh liner inside really helped keep the tester cool, and the fabric provides great wicking so you don’t feel so sweaty when it’s hot out.
