Guide Review - Sunday Afternoons Hats
If you are going to be out in the sun walking for several hours, you need more than sunscreen. The Sunday Afternoon Sport Hat keeps your head cool with its sweat-wicking fabric, mesh sides, wrap-around brim and short neck drape. I wore it for 12 hours a day marking trail for the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk and my head was remarkably cool. The Adventure Hat version has a longer neck drape but no ponytail hole. It appeals to both men and women who don't want to become rednecks.
