I am sorry, that hat is stupid looking. It reminds of something that you would see around a retirement community. What's next, socks up past our knees and shorts up around our armpits?
It may not be the most attractive thing but it does serve a purpose. Here in the south the UV index is in the harmful range about 6 months out of the year. Not to hijack the thread but Skin cancer is not very attractive either.
A childhood friend of mine died from malignant melanoma yesterday. His funeral is this coming Tuesday. His wife and 7 yr. old daughter are now alone. He was just 40 years old. The pain suffering he went through was horrible. It all started with one funny shaped mole on the back of his neck 2 years ago.
My dermatologist told me that we pay the price for each day of sun exposure that we incur. And it can have deadly consequences. I encourage all of you who work outside to get regular checkups,use sunscreen,and cover all exposed areas as much as possible when outside. Vanity can be a bad thing. Who cares what the hat looks like if it can help protect your skin and possibly save your life.
