Discovering the Perfect Sun Protective Hat for Our Costa Rica Adventure

While on vacation in Costa Rica, I was thrilled to find a Canadian company, Nammu, that sells sun protective hats. With our long-awaited family trip coming up, which would involve snorkeling, hiking, and exploring, I wanted to ensure we were all well-prepared for the sun.

A Hassle-Free Purchase

I purchased one hat for each family member—an extra-large for myself and regular sizes for my wife and two kids. Despite my initial concern about the fit, I was pleasantly surprised to find that each hat featured a tie at the back for a secure and comfortable fit. This feature proved to be incredibly beneficial throughout our trip.

Perfect for Snorkeling

We followed the advice to use the hats without a visor for snorkeling, as they fit nicely under the goggles. The extra UV protection of these hats was invaluable, shielding my ears and neck from the harsh sun while we explored underwater. The hats were comfortable to wear on the boat and dried quickly, keeping us cool even in the tropical heat.

Fashion Meets Function

My wife and kids were equally impressed with Nammu. They appreciated how stylish and cool the hats looked, adding to their overall enjoyment of the trip. The next day, our adventures took us to the jungles and caves of Costa Rica. We switched to hats with visors, which provided excellent sun protection as we trekked through the humid and dense jungle. The hats also protected our hair from getting tangled in brush or branches, adding an extra layer of convenience.

A Simple Yet Effective Solution

The Nammu hats proved to be a simple yet effective solution for our sun protection needs. We washed them with soapy water each night and had them ready for the next day’s adventures. The durability and comfort of these hats made them a staple for our trip, and I will definitely pack them for future vacations.

Planning for the Future

I also planned a two-week trip to my cottage and knew I needed a durable sun hat that could handle any activity—outdoor work, swimming, water skiing, boating, and kayaking. The Nammu hats fit the bill perfectly, providing reliable sun protection and comfort for long periods of time, both in and out of the water.
