Stylish Sun Protection Hats for Outdoor Activities

July 16, 2007 - PRLog -- San Diego, California, July 16th 2007 - In San Diego, Del Mar Horse Racing opens Wednesday July 18th, and San Diego summer sun can be intense.  Racing fans traditionally wear hats that are attractive but don't protect them from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.  

Anyone who plans to spend more than 15 minutes outdoors, whether at a sporting event, the beach, or hiking should consider wearing hats with UPF sun protection.

Monday morning, July 16th 2007, Adventure 16 and Wallaroo Hats were featured on NBC San Diego's "News in the Morning" program. The segment focused on outdoor hats that offer UPF sun protection and are crushable for convenient, no-worry travel.

Nellie Warner, a manager at the Adventure 16 Solana Beach store, was interviewed by KNSD morning anchor Marianne Kushi.  Marianne was quick to note that selecting the right size and color was not easy.  Nellie explained that just as they do with backpacks and hiking boots, Adventure 16 retail associates help customers choose the best size, sun protection level, and color for your unique physical type.
