The sun hurts you if you leave your skin exposed to it while doing yard work for 2-4 hours every day after work in June/July
This!
I have one of those round straw hats myself 😅
I have one of the big rice paddy hats that are pointed at the top. But I’m not Asian so it looks kinda silly on me, the legitimately Chinese lady across the road wears the same thing when doing her gardening and I just feel wrong wearing it in front of her lol

When you realize the sun can fucking kill you and, if you’re of light complexion, very well may.
It took about a dozen times of burning my pale shaven head to finally succumb. I wish I had started sooner. I have two presently, one with a fold-away cape (like in the picture) to cover the neck and shoulders, and one with a zip-away mosquito net that covers my whole head.
One of us! One of us! Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble.
You’re just mad that your hat doesn’t have a cape.
Hey, get a load of old no-cape Veedems over here.
These things save my pasty white ass at music festivals. After getting skin cancer this year, I’d wear one with a cape to cover my whole body if I could.
I believe it’s called being born white
I get sunburned when exposed for a few minutes, especially the neck. I also have hair loss and sunburn on the head isn’t as fun as it sounds.
holy fucking shit. Brian’s hat just got him in huge trouble in a meeting. Mr Andrews made Brian take off his hat. He said it was distracting. He said if anyone disagreed, he’d let Brian keep the hat on. Nobody said shit dude. Nobody said shit.
I’ve never fought for anything in my life, but now I’m fighting for this hat.

My dad wears this when he mows the lawn because he’s had a few melanoma spots removed. So… cancer I guess.
Trap? What’s the trap? It looks like the superior product to me.
There already huh?
Around 40 when you value practicality over style.
I’m 39. Stop scaring me.
Just start early. You’ll be ahead of the curve. There is no one left to look “cool” for.
You were cool all along, no matter what you wore.
I’m 39 and just bought a pair of those trainers that have the individual toes. I love them and Fuck what everyone else thinks.
Anyway you’re not gonna get younger.
I strive for the confidence of the park ranger, in this, shorts, a nice breathable polo shirt, doubled white socks and sunscreen still visible. All while being the chillest guy you know. It is not in the hat itself, but there is power in your ability to wear it.
The guy at the store said I was the only one who’s pulling out.
You’ve probably got dice in your pocket but you’re too afraid to show anyone
QUIT FUCKIN WITH EM!
You go to a day-long BBQ and the back of your neck gets completely fried, causing you the worst migraine and nausea you can think of, cause you cooked your spinal column.
At least that’s what caused me to buy one of these.
The trap is realizing that skin cancer on your neck and under your hair is a thing. :/
