    My mother wanted to get me a wide brim sun hat with a neck flap: https://imgs.search.brave.com/fVuBnMVVBRH1g28fcDzOX0uUoC4Si8j5_V0yd65cJL4/rs:fit:860:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9tLm1l/ZGlhLWFtYXpvbi5j/b20vaW1hZ2VzL0kv/NzEzZDRjWUhZNUwu/anBn

    She thought it would be good to save me from the sun while mowing the lawn. I asked her to return it. There was no way I was going to wear that.

      Your mom knows what’s up. You can’t undo sun damage, and anyone that cares what you look like while mowing the lawn is a grade A weirdo.

        I got a Dakine wide brim hat a few years back, and it’s easily my favorite hat. It doesn’t have the extra neck protection, but it provides better all around shading than any standard ball cap, it’s comfortable, and I like the chill style that comes with the hat.

        My main concern was it doesn’t provide enough sun cover. I wanted more. I had her buy me this instead: https://cdn.ezcosplay.com/media/catalog/product/p/o/power_rangers_white_ninjetti_ranger_cosplay_costume_1_2.jpg

        True, but you can get the best of both worlds with sunscreen. I stopped leaving home without at least SPF 30 and it made a remarkable difference to how quickly my face is aging.
