Where do people buy their hats from? Struggling to find many that actually protect from UV.
Hi there, Solbari have a selection of hats and clothes that protect you from the sun's harmful rays...
I bought an umbrella from Amazon that is supposed to protect you too....

Hi
Nice to hear from you again.
How did your treatment for your BCC go? Last time you posted you were waiting to discuss having it treated with radiotherapy. Did you go ahead with that treatment?
If you Google UV protection hats you'll find there are lots of different ones to choose from. However, if like me, you'd rather try them on in a shop then many of the outdoor clothing companies like Mountain Warehouse stock them.
You don't have to only buy hats that have UV protection though. The general rule is to wear a broad brimmed hat with a brim of at least 3 inches. Two of my hats are UV protected (one's a Tilley hat and the other I bought In Australia) while the other two are broad brimmed straw hats.
