While I was at the 2013 IPSC European Handgun Championship in Portugal in September I looked for a hat to bring with me to protect me from the sun. Attending this event means that you are standing around in the outdoors for a large portion of every day. Using base ball caps in these conditions results in a sun burnt neck and ears. In September the weather in northern Portugal can be clear blue skies with temperatures over 30°C. I selected a Tilley hat to give me proper all round sun protection.
