With how quickly summer is approaching, many of you may be planning to travel. It's generally a good idea to bring a hat, whether you're traveling to a tropical country or just visiting a big city. As you'll see, hats are a recurring item on packing lists supplied by lifestyle bloggers and travel experts. However, other factors than fashion are at play. To find out why hats are essential travel items, read on...
Using sunlight
Everyone needs to know this. When the sun is out, its UVA and UVB rays hit both your skin and your eyes. These rays are radiation, so if you are exposed to them, your body will suffer from radiation sickness and skin burns. One of the most serious consequences is skin cancer. Both UVA and UVB rays can damage the cornea and cause cataracts, as well as impair vision. Over the years, many medical specialists have recommended using sunscreen and wearing sunglasses. If we spend a lot of time outdoors and in the sun because of these negative consequences. A little advice: between 10:00 and 16:00 the sun's rays are at their strongest, so you should try to avoid being outside.
Poor hair coverage
Imagine you're on a trip or camping holiday and you can't wash your hair as usual. Your hair could then become greasy, unruly and generally unattractive to people in person and in photos. In these circumstances, a hat can be quite useful as it can hide unwanted pubic hair. It only takes a moment to put on, and once your messy hair is hidden, you'll instantly feel safer and more comfortable around people.
Protect yourself from environmental hazards
Also to the sun, your body is also exposed to various environmental influences, including rain, pollution, and even mosquitoes and other insects. A hat can provide some protection from the rain for individuals who may not have packed or forgotten their umbrellas. If you want to go somewhere with a lot of pollution, you need to protect yourself for your health. Hats can also help reduce the surface area of your body, which can make you less likely to get bitten by insects and other vermin.
Put on a face mask
We understand that there are times when you just want to blend in and avoid attracting attention. This is most obvious when you are alone and just want to relax, like when you are on a plane or at the beach. A hat can help in this situation by giving your face some protection from the sun and allowing you to hide from others.
Give some storage
Although this reasoning is rather humorous, it definitely helps when you need storage. A hat can act as a shelf or a bag of some type to keep your belongings, whether you're on a trip or in a place with little gear. Now you can put your keys, phone, hotel card, and whatever else you have in the hat just by turning it upside down.
