Baseball hats with built in SPF
« on: March 22, 2008, 03:30:22 AM »
I am going on my Hols soon and was looking for a nice Baseball cap to keep sun out of my eyes really and came across some hats in my local Marks & Spences that claim to have a SPF factor 15 ingrained in the material. What do you think Guys, How does it work? does it stay in the material after a couple of wash's?

Never heard of it.  I can't imagine it would stay in for too long after a few washes.

I'm not sure how they do this.  Do you have the manufacturer's name?

Exactly, Mike. Why cover up the smooth, shiny noggin?.
The only time I would use a hat is if I'm going to be out in the intense sun for all or most of the day. Otherwise show that slick, smooth dome, bro!     O0

You know its funny about the ballcaps.  I was always wearing one.  Never hardly ever seen me without one.  I wasnt trying to cover anything up, I just liked the look. But since I started shaving.....I havent worn one since.  A few days went by and I was like itching to wear one, but when I put one on....it looked rather silly.  So now I have a whole wall in the basement and my hats are all haning on a hook seperately.  The wife said I shoudl get rid of them but I say no.....they are my collection.  I have about 50 hats..
But for this sly guy....No more hats on this head..

exactly. a solid material ball cap has more UV protection than somed damned lotion you rub in.

after all, we don't have SPF on our shirts or pants, do we?

I think its just a marketing scam

There are shirts, pants and bathing suits that have sun protection.  "A fool and his money are soon parted".

I recommend you get some different hats that suit your style if your into to them.  One with spf sound interesting to say the least.... I am thinking it could protect your hat from sun damage at most
