Sunday Afternoons Derma Safe Hat

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Derma Safe Hat combines a wide brim at the front with a large neckflap at the rear for maximum protection from the sun.

Sunday Afternoons says

Superior functionality and design features make the Derma Safe Hat the most sun protective hat in the Sunday Afternoons line.

This ultimate sun hat offers the same facial and neck UV shielding as the Adventure Hat, but has flip-up sun protective panels covering our strategically placed mesh ventilation.

Designed for people with extra sun sensitivity due to hair loss, extremely fair skin, or other medical concerns this hat offers comprehensive UV coverage.

Our Verdict

Sunday Afternoons hats offer incredible performance! We don’t say that lightly. Sunday Afternoons are committed to designing headgear that protect the wearer from the Sun and they achieve this in spades. You will find that they are not the coolest hats image-wise (you may get a few second looks) but the protection they offer is invaluable.

The Derma Safe Hat is a similar design to the Sunday Afternoons Adventure hat as it brings you all the same sun protection but has flip-up sun protective panels covering the side mesh ventilation for a little extra protection. If your after a hat to keep your head, face, neck and lips protected while staying cool then this is this is the hat for you.
