Does Fashion Sun Visor Hat Work?
January 19,2022
From a daily point of view: Sunscreen clothing and parasols should be the most used products for sunscreen in summer, and now sunscreen hats are getting more and more attention. Why? --Because sunscreen clothes often don't cover your face, and facial skin is very important to everyone, parasols are inconvenient to carry, and you can't hold umbrellas when riding bicycles. Sunscreen caps just make up for these two shortcomings. Most importantly, sunscreen caps can effectively cover your face.
From a professional point of view: Professional sunscreen hats have sunscreen function, UPF value is greater than 40, and UVA projection ratio is less than 5%, which can effectively resist ultraviolet rays. (The UPF value will be described in detail in the third part.)
How to buy a fashionable sun visor hat？
- Ultraviolet barrier
It is introduced in detail in the article on sunscreen clothing: the national standard (GB/T 18830-2009) "Evaluation of Anti-ultraviolet Performance of Textiles" stipulates that UPF value is greater than 40 and UVA projection ratio is less than 5% before it can be called anti-ultraviolet products. UPF value greater than 40: refers to less than one fortieth of the ultraviolet rays passing through the sunscreen fabric, so the greater the UPF value, the better. UVA projection ratio less than 5%: refers to the transmittance of ultraviolet long waves. The smaller the value, the better the protection effect.
When choosing a sunscreen cap, we should focus on the UPF value. If the UPF value > 40 is up to the basic sunscreen standard, that is, the sunscreen effect can only be achieved if the UPF value is above 40. (At present, the mainstream professional brand sunscreen hats in the market are UPF50 +, and the ultraviolet blocking rate basically reaches 95% and above)
- Shading effect
Shading effect is mainly manifested in three aspects: brim size, fabric and color.
- Brim size:
The size of the brim is the range of the hat shielding the face. The larger the shielding range, the better the sunscreen effect. If the shielding is not in place, it is about equal to supplementing sunscreen.
- Fabric: Polyester > Nylon > Cotton, Silk
- Polyester: That is, polyester fiber, which has a good effect of shielding ultraviolet rays.
- Nylon: It is thinner and lighter, and its air permeability is better than polyester, but its sunscreen effect is slightly worse than polyester.
- Cotton: It has shading property, but cotton fabric is slightly thicker and has poor air permeability.
- Color: Dark Color > Light Color
- Air permeability
Air permeability is a very important point in choosing sun protection caps, which will greatly affect the wearing comfort. About air permeability: First, choose fabrics (polyester for sun protection function and nylon for more comfort), and then look at the small details of air permeability design.
- Cost performance
That is, the quality of products is directly proportional to the price, That is to say, it is easy to use and inexpensive. Cost performance is a very important factor for us to choose any product. In fact, no matter what brand or product, there will be a representative cost-effective model that can meet the needs of most people. My task is to choose a cost-effective sunscreen cap for everyone!
