Are you in the sun more in the summer than in the winter? Remember, the sun’s rays are damaging in both seasons. We are more aware during the warmer months because of the heat. Cold weather and we forget sun danger. Science tells us that the winter sun is dangerous as well.
Fabric hats tend to be cheaper than straw and felt.

Sami’s Take On Prevent Wasting Money With Sun Blocking Clothing
Any time we see descriptions of clothing that tell us they do something special, besides just cover our bodies, we know they will cost more. This can create a mental push-back to paying extra.
Often you may not need the extra benefits described in the sales jargon on on the tags or labels. Sometimes these are the very benifets that we need.
Think about how you live. If like me, you are able to control when you are out in the direct sun, a regular shirt, or hat may furnish the cover you need to stay safe while in the sun. A loosely fitting long sleeve shirt from your closet may be all you need to avoid a sunburn.
A little sunscreen with some sun protection clothing may be all you need. Make yourself aware of how to help your skin stay safe.
You must wear the items to protect your skin from the sun. Any thing is better than nothing between your skin and the sun. Layering sun protection by adding sunscreen to the skin areas not covered gives you extra protection.
A shirt with a 30 UPF rating is good skin protection, 50 is better. However a 5 rating is better that no shirt. The same for sunscreen. Broadspectrum of 30 is good, 50 is better, but15 is better than nothing.
Use your sun protective clothing wisely and stay safe from skin cancer
