Protect Your Head with a Bahama Hat by Columbia
I really dislike wearing sunscreen on my face, so I prefer to wear a wide-brimmed hat when gardening. I also like to wear a light long sleeved shirt but I understand that some of the sun’s rays can still get through. Anyway, I was looking for some sun hats today and really like the design of this Bahama Hat made by Columbia. It provides for air circulation while protecting your face and neck. It also has a chin strap for windy days. These kinds of hats generally make me look like a dork when I wear them hiking or walking around. But for gardening, they get a green thumbs up! So the next time some neighborhood punk throws a rock at you for wearing one of these hats, you can tell them, “you won’t be laughing when you get your first skin cancer removed from your neck, sonny boy!” The hat is available from Cabelas.com, which also has lots of other similar products. Costs around $18.00.
