| A word of caution: I have always preferred a hat to a baseball style cap when fishing. Left open, with the sides unfolded, the hat reduces the glare and damaging rays of the sun and generally, helps you see better. Unfortunately, I worn neither a hat or cap for many years. Unless I needed the polarizing benefits of them, I also rarely wore my sunglasses. A few thousand days out on the water in the hot sun has damaged my skin enough that I regret ignoring what I knew but did nothing about. I have skin cancers all over me, including my legs from saltwater fishing in shorts. It hasn't killed me yet but when I visit a dermatologist, I return looking like I have been in a house fire. I'm usually covered with burns spots where they have used liquid nitrogen to freeze (burn) the things off. I also have a pterygium or growth caused by the sun on my left eye. Wearing the hat with the sides folded up like shown in the picture isn't exactly good either because it offers no protection from the sun for your ears and the side of your face. Now that the top of my head is rather bald, with little skin cancers on it, I always need to wear a hat although I'm about fifty years too late. Here's the bottom line. If you make a habit of wearing a hat when your fishing, you will be much better off in the long run. James Marsh |
The above hat was taken out of a box in a flat position just prior to this shot. You don't have to worry
about them getting bent or out of shape. You can even pack them in a fly fishing bag or your luggage.
