Review on UPF 50+ Cotton Sun Hat For Women: Siggi Summer Pony Tail Flap Cap With Ponytail Hole & Neck Cover Cord 55-61Cm by Mike Wheeler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Couldn't ask for more in a sun hat

I work 10 hour days as a landscaper for my city near Denver, CO where the UV index is often 11-12 (Today it says "Extreme risk of harm"). I'm very pale; my foundation color is whatever the lightest one is at the makeup counter. As you might imagine my standards for sun protection are pretty high. I've forgotten to put sunscreen (I wear 70+spf) on my face once at work and only got the slightest amount of pink on my cheeks and none on my forehead. You still need sunscreen, but not nearly as much. The skirt around the back is one of my favorite features. I have broad brimmed hats I've worn to work and the back of my neck still gets way too much sun, but the skirt covers it completely. No weird farmers tans for me! If you're hiking and have a backpack it doesn't bang into it behind you, which is great. I cannot recommend this hat enough for sun protection. Plus, it's cute and makes me feel pretty even when I'm elbo deep in weeds.The band tightening bow thing on the back is pretty meh, but between the chin strap and pulling my ponytail through the slit at the back it doesn't really matter.

Pros
  • It is suitable for all skin types
Cons
  • The hat may not provide enough UV protection
