It is clear that heavy exposure to the sun can lead to health problems, such as sunstroke. To avoid this, several solutions are possible, including the hat. Discover the reasons why wearing a hat is crucial under the sun, but also a selection of the most beautiful models of hats to wear this summer!
Why wear a hat under the sun?
Wearing a hat in the sun is not just about aesthetics. Indeed, this accessory is mainly used to avoid possible sunburn, in other words, sunstroke. You should know that sunstroke mainly results from prolonged exposure of the head, as well as the neck to the sun, when they are not protected. It results in a feeling of heat on the face, followed by redness, hot skin that dries up, headaches, high body temperature, feeling dizzy and tired, restlessness, nausea, vomiting, cramps and even convulsions. In the most serious cases, sunstroke can even lead to an increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, or even loss of consciousness.
On the other hand, significant exposure of the head to the sun can also cause cognitive impairment. These include disorders that affect attention, memory and reasoning.
On the other hand, the hat also helps to protect the eyes against the sharpness of the sun, which tends to damage eyesight. Otherwise, at the same time, it improves vision on very sunny days.
It goes without saying that the hat must always be at hand (or rather head) when the sun is at the rendezvous.
What type of hat to choose to protect yourself from the sun?
In order to protect yourself from the sun in an optimal way, it is essential to know how to choose the ideal type of hat.
So, in terms of a suitable hat to protect yourself from the sun, it is best to opt for a model that has wide brims, whether at the front and back, or on the sides. Indeed, in addition to preserving the head, this choice will protect the neck or part of the neck.
Regarding materials, straw hats are more suitable for summer because of their light and comfortable characteristics. On the other hand, thanks to their breathable side, they bring a certain freshness during hot days. However, be aware that straw hats often let the sun’s rays through, which can sometimes be restrictive. For more protection, another solution is to opt for a cotton hat. In general, these models of hats are light, flexible, comfortable to wear and offer more protection against the sun’s rays. Otherwise, in addition to letting the head breathe, they are suitable for all types of outdoor activities. By the way, cotton hats also come in various styles and colors. Otherwise, be aware that there are anti-UV hats that provide optimal protection against the sun’s rays. These types of hats must display a protection factor of at least 40+ for optimal protection. These include hats designed in tightly woven fibers, with colors specially designed to limit the harmful effects of the sun’s rays.
And since it is also a question of colors, know that light colors such as beige reflect the sun’s rays and repel heat. These colors are therefore to be preferred for summer hats. Dark colored hats also protect against UV, but often tend to store heat.
Otherwise, we have specially selected for you the most beautiful models of hats that will effectively protect you from the sun during the summer periods.
