When summer comes, many people will wear a hat to protect against the sun when they go out. As a particularly popular hat style in recent years, the bucket hat is not only good-looking, but also known as a "walking parasol". But many people still ask in their hearts: "Does the bucket hat really protect against the sun?"
The answer is: it really protects against the sun effectively!
Why can the bucket hat protect against the sun?
The brim is wide enough
The classic design of the bucket hat is a 360-degree wraparound brim. Unlike a baseball cap that only covers the front, it can also cover the side of the face and the back of the neck to reduce direct exposure to ultraviolet rays.
Large sunshade area
The wider the brim, the more obvious the sun protection effect.
Some bucket hats have sunscreen coatings
Now many sun hats use UPF50+ sunscreen fabrics, which can block more than 95% of ultraviolet rays, which is stronger than ordinary fabrics.
Which bucket hats are more suitable for summer sun protection?
Light colors: such as beige and light gray, which are highly reflective and less hot
Breathable cotton or sun-proof polyester material: cool to wear without being stuffy
With breathable mesh/sweat-absorbing belt design: suitable for long-term outdoor use
Foldable and portable: convenient to carry when traveling, sun protection at any time
Precautions
Although the bucket hat can block the sun, it is not 100% sun protection. It is recommended to use sunscreen, sunglasses, and long-sleeved clothing for long-term outdoor activities
Try to choose a certified UPF sun protection hat, which is more effective than an ordinary cotton hat
When children wear a bucket hat, pay attention to the appropriate hat circumference and the hat does not block the line of sight
