UV Rays and Chilly Days Winter Sun Hats From Sunday Afternoons

Dec. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Summer may be over but winter sun protection is still important because UV radiation is present all year round. A winter sun hat offers protection by shading the face, neck and ears: prime areas for premature aging and skin cancer to occur. With over two million Americans diagnosed annually, skin cancer is now the most common cancer, and the number of cases is growing. Dermatologists now believe that everyone should use sun protection on exposed skin every day, especially when outdoors.

Winter weather means rain, snow and wind. Sunday Afternoons has fashionable hats that can be worn during these cold and blustery months with full UPF50+ certified sun protection.   The Sierra Wool Hat is a perfect winter choice, offering a wide 4.5" brim for 360 degree UPF50+ protection. This hat features an outdoorsy look that will keep you warm in the cool weather. With a one piece leather headband and chinstrap to keep it on your head even with those winter winds; and a packable, water-repellant construction, it is as tough as it is fashionable. Available in women's M in ebony and chocolate, retail $36.00

Fashionable and bohemian, the Vivian Hat flaunts a floppy brim and water-repellant, packable construction making it the perfect winter travel accessory. The avant-garde, wide-brim design is made of 100% wool felt, meant to keep your head warm when the snow starts falling while maintaining breathability with its interior grosgrain sweatband. Available in walnut, raven, and faun in women's M for $38.00.

For the absolute last word in winter protection, choose the Oregon Cloudburst Hat- an all-weather ensemble that keeps the elements off your head, rain or shine. With Sunday Afternoon's standard UPF50+ protection and sporting a massive 6" rear neck cape covering the neck, in addition to a 3.75" down-sloping brim, the wind and snow of winter- not to mention the glaring sun on those clear days- is kept from dampening your spirits. Available in men's and women's M and L sizes in cream/sand, woodland/charcoal, sand/black, and other colors. Retail $48.00.

It is never too late to start protecting your skin. Be sun smart, make it a daily activity and do not rely on one product for complete protection. The best plan is to combine sun protective products with sun safety measures.
