Dorfman Pacific Sun Hat Review

Sponsored post*

Dorfman Pacific has been expanding the sun protection portion of its line and the 2013 Scala & Tropical Trends brand collections are the most exciting and comprehensive yet. The variety is enormous and exciting so that everyone will be tempted to discover a hat that can express their own personal style and maintain sun protection at the same time. There are many hat styles that can fold or roll up for travel or even to drop into a handbag or tote for daily use. 

The Tropical Trends (LP157) is a 4" brimmed hat with a floppy style. It is paper braid and has a self sizing tie to adjust to one's head size. It is offered in four color variations....all natural with different trim tipping the brim, including black, tea, turquoise, and fuchsia. It is light weight and bounces back into shape so it can be easily stored in a beach bag or taken on vacation.  On top of the obvious fashion benefits, it carries the UPF Sun Protection factor of 50. 

Review: I received a great Tropical Trends hat to review. I am not usually a hat person, but there are times when I am in the sun for an extended period of time when a pair of sunglasses is just not enough! We had a garage sale and it was sunny for the entire 5 hours so I was very happy that my face had extra protection. It looked really great with the sundress that I wore and it was quite comfortable. I liked the fact that you could adjust the fit but it fit perfectly as is.  It was light and airy so my head did not get too hot. I applied sunscreen over and over during these 5 hours but I still ended up with a slight burn everywhere except for my face thanks to the hat! Looks like I will be wearing this hat a lot this summer!!

Buy it here: You can purchase the Tropical Trends hat for $25 from Hartford York.
