I need the sun protection but this has a band of mesh. Does this allow the head to be sun burned?

I know several people who have worn this hat on safaris, outdoor treks, mountain climbs, etc., and none has gotten a sunburn on their head. So I would say it is pretty unlikely!

No. I've been wearing Tilleys for 8 years and never had a problem. I work at a golf course and spend many hours in the sun.

It didn't for me. I used it for playing golf in hot bright sunny weather. The mesh allow air flow but is high enough that when the sun moves the direct rays can't hit your scalp. I love the hat.

I don't know. I still use sunblock prior to this, but it's smooth and has nice coverage.

I love these hats. We certainly use them poolside and at the beach. The chinstrap makes it virtually impossible for the hat to blow off and it dries quickly. We haven't had any trouble with the hats getting dirty. That being said, I don't know that the hat would hold up well if it were going to be drenched all of the time. The brim might get pretty floppy. It is a great way to protect from the harmful rays of the sun!

Mine did. Note the velcro attachments are very cheap and still plastic backed. It works fine for me but i find it annoying at times that the backing is wider then the straps and rubs a bit. Some trimming may be necessary to fix this. I learned to ignore it. Not as top quality as one from a doc but definitely a workable head gear.

It has Velcro so you can adjust the tightness. Every now and then a strong breeze will come along and I'll have to grab the brim to keep it from flying off.

it does get hot ( due to the hot air coming out of it . ) but it doesn't get so hot you can't stand it. Yes you can hold it in place on your head. You take it away when you feel it's too hot.

No, not at all. This cap only heated the crown and front of my head. No heat in the back. Waste of money.

I don't think you would have a problem. I bought this in black and I just spent last Sunday all day at the beach in Miami weather (over 90 degrees), mostly outside walking and sunbathing, and I did not feel hot. If you get it in a color other than black and with the wind factor, I don't any problem wearing this for sun protection.

I'm not quite sure of the specific intent but from what I can gather the netting wouldn't be damaged by the sun if that is what you mean. If the intent is to try to cover someone or something with the hopes of blocking the suns rays it definitely will not prevent a sunburn or shield a pet, infant or child from the sun.

Yes it has UV protection! It blocks out more sun than it looks like it would! I absolutely love this cover!! Don't know the weight but it's not really heavy! We covered our percula with it! Love it!

It's a mesh screen with a roll up cover, but it allows a lot of light to come in when open. Depending on the angle of the sun, you'll have to keep it closed to prevent a sunburn. I'll try to angle the tent so that the light doesn't shine in and can keep the window open to keep the tent cooler.

Yes! It works really well! With the sun protection all the way out, you have to angle it just right to cover both children. You do not have to remove the sun visor.

You can "rig" it to tuck under your head, but it's not meant for that. Some manufacturers make a hat where the drape comes off, but a lot of times it's either hard to get back on, or light/sun gets in there. This is one solid unit so there is no way to take the drape off. Thanks!

I don't know what UV rating they claim, but the only body parts not covered are head, hands, and feet. I usually use a waterproof sunscreen stick like bullfrog to protect my kids' face (ears, nose, cheeks). I'm very pleased with these suits. They're a great value, and the warmth they provide make surfing fun. Being cold is miserable.

There is velcro in two places on the top of the head. One is on the top and one is on the back. I don't know if they make it without velcro. I think it is needed to make sure it fits you correctly. It isn't in a place that irritates your skin. It might if you are bald. I don't mind the velcro. Hope this helps

No. I've been using this for months without any problems at all. I would advise against using it in the rain because the face is uncovered.
