SkyMall Monday: SunCap Hat

by Mike Barish (RSS feed) on Jul 25th 2011 at 1:00PM

Sure, it's nice to look a little bronzed in the summer. Who doesn't enjoy being just a bit "sun-kissed" when they're showing off more skin in the hot weather? However, the sun is a fickle bitch-goddess and things can go from tan to burnt quicker than you can say SPF. It's always important to protect ourselves from the sun (which is why we've stopped using our foil reflector when we have our SkyMall Monday Tanfests). Beyond sunscreen, doctors recommend wearing a hat to shade your head and face, along with sunglasses to prevent damage to your eyes. But who wants to carry all of that stuff around? And how many pairs of sunglasses have you lost over the years? Thankfully, SkyMall is here to keep us from turning red. The next time you're ready to hit the beach, pool, music festival, picnic, sporting event, festival, monster truck rally or poker tournament, be sure to don your very own SunCap Hat.

Who wants to attach one of those lanyards to their glasses? Those things are just for the elderly and boat owners. Flip up sunglasses haven't been hip since we graduated from Hillman College. If you need sunglasses and a hat (both of which are essential travel items), it's best to combine them so that you never lose either (or, you know, to ensure that you lose both).

Think that combining a hat and sunglasses makes as much sense as attaching a watch to gloves? Believe that the words 'cap' and 'hat' mean the same thing and are redundant when used together? Well, while you apply some zinc to your nose, we'll be reading the product description:

The unique design of the SunCap incorporates stylish polycarbonate sunglasses that slide up and down through a slit in the hat's bill with just the push of a finger.

Don't worry about losing, forgetting or damaging your sunglasses. They're always there when you need them, fastened to your cap.

It's the most fun you'll have sliding something through a slit all day.

So, if you have fair skin and an icy stare that needs to be revealed, be sure to protect yourself in the most stylish way possible. If you can't do that, then get the SunCap Hat.
