The past few months I’ve spent almost every day sitting in the beautiful Florida sun watching soccer practices, games or working in the yard. While I love the sun, I do not love skin cancer. Even with the use of sunblock the kids and I are browning up and it is challenging to protect everyone from the sun when it is sunny all the time!
A few weeks ago I received two hats from Outdoor Research. I had been wearing my baseball cap to the soccer fields, but it only shielded the top part of my face. These sun hats from Outdoor Research do a great job of protecting your whole face.
The papyrus brim hat shields your whole face from the sun. My husband quickly snatched it up and has been wearing it all the time. My kids like it too and it’s breathable so the hat doesn’t cause your head to get any hotter than it would already be in the sun.
I also received this awesome Kids’ Helios hat. I chose orange so my boys and girls could wear it and it has UPF 30 protection to keep their little heads from getting sunburned. This hat is super cute and my kids love it. It also floats so if it happens to fly off at the beach or the lake it is easy to find floating in the water. (Great idea, huh?)
My kids spend so much time outside it is nice to know their faces are being protected while they play.
What I like about these hats is that they are high quality and will last a long time. I’ve purchased cheaper hats in the past and they only lasted one summer. These hats are very durable and I imagine they will last for several summers.
