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 don't know about this one. I use Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer with sunscreen that says broad spectrum SPF 50 on the front.

don't know about that! I wear mine for covering my ears, using it as a headband and as extra warmth around my neck so I'm not using it for sun protection

this umbrella was great to block the sun. we bought a second umbrella at the beach and you could feel the heat coming through it. this one from amazon is great for cover and UV protection. u

Not at all! It is extremely well ventilated. The sides are see-through breathable mesh, and the first layer (which you can't see in the picture), is the same breathable mesh. You do not have to use the heavier, sun reflecting layer if you do not want to. However, I believe it will not be too hot either. I live in Southern California where it can get 100+ degrees during the summer, and I still use this every day.

No, mine does not. I think it has some "Gel capsules" that helps dissipate the heat. Also, I think the "hybrid" construction (coils and foam) may help also.

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.

Haven't used for nighttime because of spf value. I want to save that for daytime.

Yes, check out Consumer Reports July 2014 issue. The difference between SPF 15 (93%)and SPF 30(97%) is 4% more UVB ray blocking! Note: SPF only refers to UVB not UVA rays

No... There is no covering for the open side. There is also no coverage from the sun on both sides that have mesh windows. Mine actually broke after the first beach trip.

I am not sure. I use this daily but if I am in the pool or going to be in the sun, I use a waterproof children's sunscreen. I try to get as little sun on my face as possible. I do like this is 50 SPF & it's lite and absorbs quickly. I also like that it's tinted & not white. I hope this helps!

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!!

There is no spf in it. I also wondered if it was just for tanning beds, which I no longer use. I used it for outside tanning and it did not work for me.

I am not sure. Sorry! .. fyi thoughm do not get out in the sun after this at all, even if wear high SPF

SPF really only addresses UVB light, but UVA light is just as dangerous, so it's important to buy a sunscreen that performs well in both (WebMD has a short article explaining this - http://www.webmd.com/beauty/sun/high-spf-sunscreens-are-they-better). Also, I no longer buy the Burn Out product because they changed their formula to a very sticky paste that doesn't apply easily. I prefer Thinkbaby SPF 50+ sunscreen (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CDQ73K/). Good luck!

My sense is that there is some degree of UV protection and that's why I purchased one, as it was recommended by my dermatologist. Most cotton fabric has a minimum SPF of 15 for example.
