Recomend me a sun hat?

[robpatterson5]

Hi all, after getting most of my face burnt off on a glacier I'm in the market for a new sun hat. Looking for something lightweight, with good coverage, and preferably a dark brim and light color.

If I could wear it with my climbing helmet that would be excellent. If it looks great that would be even better.

What are people using?

Fashion comments aside, I was looking at the OR Sun Runner cap.

Cheers, Rob

extra sunscreen, a baseball cap, and a bandana underneath.

As stated above, that combination works really well.

 

Also, make sure that the sun screen you use is sweat proof, and remember to re-apply that goo everywhere on your face. This includes places you would never expect to get sun burnt. (Like INSIDE your nostrils! The bottom of you nose, and under your chin.) I have first hand experience in getting burns in these unexpected places.

Good study and test on hundreds of sunscreens and the results. Which ones really work and which are more harmful than good for you. How bad is the one you are using?

I got one of these when I lived in Vegas, it rocked and still rocks now, good coverage, breathability, and sweet ass looks!

I use a Keffiyeh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh) and sun screen personally as the baseball cap usually bugs me...something with my field of view and the fit of my glasses.

 

But the above quoted is certainly standard issue.
