Does the mesh (airflow) portion provide spf 50 sun protection as well? We live in FL. I'm trying to keep cool while keeping the sun rays off my head!

I don't know that the protection is SPF 50, but I can say for sure that I've never had a sun burn problem wearing this hat while boating. And I boat all day long in the hot sun in Missouri in July, so I see no issue or problem. Overall, it's a great product and I highly recommend it.

Honestly, I don't know. The important bit for me is the sun on the top of my head. regards.

Best hat I have ever had. As far as the mesh part goes, it is a very fine mesh located just below the flat top. I have never noticed any problem and I have worn it in the Caribbean and in Hawaii with no problems. The mesh band is only 3/4" wide and because of the tightness of the mesh I cannot imagine that much sun gets through - probably more light than actual sun rays. With the brim unsnapped, there is more than ample shading from the sun on all sides of the head. I have never noticed my head getting hot when wearing this hat. Hope this helps!

Its supposed to. Did not buy it for that but I think I saw that somewhere. Precise answer at the Tilley website. HBR

There is only one person who can answer this question and that's Tilley. Contact or better yet call them.

I will say 99.9% of the sun's rays are block. We have complete shade. I have never gotten sunburn under the shade sail.

My jar doesn't say SPF on it either. If it had SPF that wouldn't be too bad either because I wear this day and night. I like it much better than the daytime version.

Only the Under Armour Catalyst series has SPF protection, to the best of my knowledge.

I ride a Harley for hours at a time wearing the sleeves. I am also a very pale red head. The sleeves are VERY good at protecting the skin. I never wear sunscreen on my arms now. the longest I have ridden is 5 hours on a 90 degree day and I noticed an ever so slight pinkness but nothing approaching a sunburn.

The sun protection isn't great, however it is really light which makes it easy to pack and set up. It is also very breathable. I thought I would use it at the beach for my one year old, but have got more use out of it while camping (it's the play tent), in our yard and inside the house. I tie a light blanket or sheet over it if more shade is needed. Overall, I initially purchased it for the shade but have already got my money's worth out of it for different reasons. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

Based upon the picture attached, this question concerns the summer mesh cover. I live in the northeast, I installed it in late spring with the Premier tab facing up.

Yes, all three pieces have mesh in the side. You can see through it and it does allow for air. I think it will be find outside when it is hot. But like anything else just monitor the kids. I love it. And so does my daughter.

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.

The vanicream sport SPF 35 I use on my kids when they play sports. The sweat from running around in the sun does not interfere with the application of the sunscreen, and there skin stays protected. I use both, other than that I use them both and they do not affect my kids eczema.

Yes it is mesh. They say it aids in ventilation and reduces condensation which we found to be true. The rainfly seems to do the trick because we had a few nights that it rained and had no issues.

Any sun coming from those is negligible... being so low to the ground. I actually was wishing there was more mesh on the back for even more airflow. The biggest factor for how much shade there is depends on the angle to the sun. Facing south, you'll only really get shade on your upper body at mid-day anyway. If you face any other direction, you get enough shade for 3+ adult camp chairs and gear and won't really notice light coming through ventilation mesh. If you face NW/N/NE, you'll have enough shade to have lots of kids/adults lay out a blanket in front of the chairs and have nice shade. (all of this assuming your latitude is similar to Washington DC) Any sun coming from those is negligible... being so low to the ground.

I'm in sunny, hot Florida. Have not had on throughout the summer yet, but looks great and I think the product is going to work fine. Saw thus on "shark tank" and love the family selling it, so I hope it is the product that works for all of us.

Hi. I am not sure. I just ordered and received "Fallene Cotz Plus SPF 58 Water Resistant UVB/UVA Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin, 2.5-Ounce Tube" which did not come with the tints. You can easily mix with a little foundation if you need. This stuff is the best I've found for total sun protection. Also, you can visit the Fallen site and ask customer service there. I've found them to be super helpful!!

Well, if you were born a redhead, why would you use an SPF 10 sun cream when you could use an SPF 50. The SolarBag provides drinking water with a greater degree of safety than any other method available.
