At sea the sun hits twice: from above and reflected off the water. Sailing hats and visors protect the face and eyes from the rays, cut glare and help you stay focused on the manoeuvres all day long.
The range covers every need: light visors and caps with UV protection for summer, fleece or wool beanies for cold passages, and the classic waterproof sou'wester hats for rain and spray. Details such as a chin cord and a sweatband make the difference when the wind picks up.
How to choose? For racing go for snug models that will not blow away, with a safety cord; for cruising consider wide brims and fast-drying fabrics. Always check the protection factor of the materials.
