- Sports men: choose visor
Conclusion: There is no good or bad hat type, the important thing is to choose the one that suits the scene and self-style
Sun hat is not UPF50+, it can also be part of the style expression. Choose bucket hat for daily travel to short-circuit sun protection, choose wide-brim sun hat for seaside travel to be safer, and choose bucket hat for farmland/house travel to be the most appropriate.
We are not going to set a standard, but to choose the hat type that best suits your actual needs, so that sun protection becomes a part of fashion.
