So I don't get sunburnt, but ventilates well. I sweat a lot and it bugs the shit out of me when I get sunscreen runoff in my eyes.
This is what I roll with to protect my bald ass head when I’m out in the sun working in the yard. Has held up well compared to the el cheapo straw hats out there. https://www.quiksilver.com/pierside-straw-lifeguard-hat-AQYHA00145.html
Bought one of these about 12 years ago. Its seen plenty of event duty at Barber. Worked very well for me. https://www.hatsinthebelfry.com/product/stetson-airway-3830.html
I clean pools all day and I’ve been through every brand straw hat on the market. O’Neill is made really well and hold up to heavy use . Plus there’s a black cloth sewn under the brim for extra sun protection https://www.amazon.com/ONeill-Mens-...trawhat&qid=1554352855&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spell
If you wore something like this would you be accused of "cultural appropriation"?? It seems like it might keep your head a little cooler since it doesnt envelope the top half of your head like a western style hat does.
I spend hours out on the tractor, mowing and such. A straw hat would be ideal if it would work with ear muffs, never seen such a thing.
Get the ear muffs that go around the back of your head instead of over the top??? Edit. https://www.zoro.com/3m-ear-muffs-b...5Zp3PNVhfyliNSTyuzyxDYGQfzDoXkH4aAkFrEALw_wcB
That’s viable but I know depending on length of time, I may prefer muffs. I had ear issues due to massive blockage/wax build up from wearing plugs 5-6 hrs a day for a few weeks in a row. The amount of wax/crap the ENT pulled out was amazing.
