Best Sun Hats for 2020 Hiking Adventure.

-

 

These 5 among others, Have The Best Ultraviolet Protection Factor Rating.


Sun hats are necessary for both hiking and safari adventure. A hiker or safari Hunter needs a sun hat to protect themselves from the scourging sun.


Infact, every form of outdoor adventure, requires you to come along with your sun hat. This is because, the weather isn't reliable, and when it appears to be sunny and harsh, your sun hat becomes your best companion.


Sun hats play a very important role during hiking and safari adventures. The UV Rays of the sun can damage your skin. But with your hat, your skin especially, your head, neck, and face are protected.


It is also in recommendation from the FDA that you wear a hat. Not just a hat but one with a wide brim of tightly woven opaque fibers for sun protection, preferably with atleat 4 inches wide brim. In as much as the brim needs to be wide, it shouldn't be so wide to obstruct your view.


There are a lot of hiking hats out there in the market. This means you are left with a lot of options. 


Nomatter what your choice of sun hat may look like, it should have the following:


Fitting: Your choice of sun hat should be able to fit so well on your head to avoid falling off during walking. It should not be so tight in a way that it makes you uncomfortable.


Good Width of brim: In a simpler term, this has to do with its ability to cover you well. A sun hat that gives you 90- 98% covering is perfect for hiking and any outdoor adventure.


Material: Your choice of material should be comfortable to the touch while being moisture wicking, quick- drying and abrasion-resistant.


UPF Rating: The ultraviolet protection Factor of a fabric, is simply how much UV radiation (UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin. A hiking hat should therefore, have a UPF50 fabric. If said the other way, it blocks 98% of the sun rays, thus reducing your exposure significantly.


The necessary Factors being put in place, we recommend these five for your hiking and outdoor adventures.


1.The filson Summer packer.



Of all the hats in the market, we assume this one to be the hikers best choice. It's design makes it wanted all the time. It has clean lines and it came with classic fedora style, it is infact, one of the most attractive hats ever tested.


The summer packer is durable and breathable , it also holds up extremely well to being folded up and put inside any pack.


This hiking hat came in five different sizes. One thing that is not too sound about the summer packer, is that it is not adjustable and it renders limited protection . It's brim size is 2.75 . It's material is from a 80z dry finish shelter cloth.


2.Tilley LTM6 Airflo.




The Tilley LTM6 Airflo is much more suitable for hiking, mountaineering, treeking, travelling, and bush packing. In the company, the ariflo is a typical example of a perfect craftsmanship. It's made up of UPF50-rated nylon. 


Its design uniqueness makes it profound in the market. It might interest you to know that this one has a mesh insert and a loop pocket for you to keep some valuables. 


3.The Columbia Bora Bora Booney II hat. 




This one came with a sunset band and non- upf mesh panels to ensure maximum protection from the sun. It is very much available in the market but unfortunately, one size.


4.Sunday Afternoon ultra adventure Hat.




The Sunday afternoon ultra adventure hat is a perfect example of hiking, mountain climbing, treeking, Backpacking, and travelling hat. The construction style of this one, enables it to protect the back of your neck.


The Sunday afternoon, has six inch neck cape in addition to its 3 inch folding clamshell brim, which makes it packable. It is made of nylon and polyester. If you ask us, we will rightly say that this one is suitable and can withstand the weather. It will be good to also let you know that it is made from a sweat and water resistant fabric and also easy to pack.


5.Outdoor Research Bugout.




This in its uniqueness, is treated with mosquito sheild and helps protect against mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects. Reason being that, it is treated with EPA-registered insect sheild.


With the outdoor research bugout, your protection from inscts and mosquitoes is highly guranteed, with its headband that is soft top skin and helps manage moisture.
