Hats don’t provide enough protection on their own to anyone outside during times where sun protection is recommended. They only provide additional sun protection for your head, face, ears, and neck. The protection factors from the shading effect are much lower. Although hats are helpful, it is still recommended to use at least five sun-protective measures such as sunscreen and apparel.
