Big sun hats effay? It's too hot out there without shade.

>>18486833 (OP)
Yes archaeologist inspired gear is the way to go for summer imo

This thread is relevant to my interests so I would like to bump it. I'm not very tolerant of sun these days and I would like a hat that keeps it off of me that doesn't make me look like an ultramarathon dweeb. It feels like there aren't any masculine options, and most cowboy hats are still too small.

Something like this in form that isn't made of shitty synthetic materials seems impossible to find. Maybe I just need to shop in the women's section and see what works?

>>18487734
The synthetic sport material is what makes it look normal and not a costume piece.

>>18487738
Bruh

>>18487738
You wear polyester so as not to look like you're in a costume, yet costumes are predominantly made of polyester. The dichotomy of fabric discussion is strange.

You can be your own shade

>>18487738
What fabric would look normal if they did not invent plastic clothing that fucks your hair?

>>18487752
I don't care for this degenerate era, bring on the costumes of a more civilized era, I welcome them.

Take care of your skin, for it may leave you if you don't.

yah for heat, basically no sun protection but i think large hats are kino
keep wearing sunscreen anyway hats and your plant fiber clothes really dont do a lot

>>18487995
>keep wearing sunscreen
Shan't.

>>18488000
This is garbage.

For real though, not OP, but how do I deal with the sun? I'm pale as hell and boil alive at 18c, so I need real shit. Is there any kind of hat that has brim enough to shield a guy without making him look like a total autist like >>18486892 ?

Skin has its own mechanism to cope with sun exposure, and that is by tanning. It's obviously not good for the skin to get burned, but it's also not good for the skin to get no sun at all. You have to do the happy medium thing.

>>18488029
Yeah, I guess, but I've never experienced the medium. It's seven months of dull or dark and then five months of burning, and that's what you see on people, too -- tanning-bed-brown or gamer-pallor and then lobster and back again.

>Correlation does not imply causation
come on anon...
humanity got better at catching and diagnosing instances of skin cancer due to modern medicine and awareness. People simply weren't checking for it.

>>18488037
The ingredients in sunscreen have been literally found to cause cancer.

>>18488042
Let me guess you're an anti-vaxxer too?
You also think fluoride in our water is harmful.
There's no evidence of sunscreens causing cancer.
Again we just got better at checking for cancer. There will be another massive jump in the rate of cancer diagnoses because AI has gotten really fucking good at detecting early cancer.

>>18487995
Silk blocks UV rays quite well actually

>>18488050
Fluoride is toxic when swallowed, why do we all have to drink it just for children to have a miniscule less chance of cavities? Give every child their own juice pack of flouride if they need it so much

>>18488076
silk is a protein based fiber made by worms

>>18488275
Indeed, That's why I said it blocks UV rays quite well, benchod
