Sun Protection at Sea: How Nammu UV Blocking Hats Became a Favorite in Cuba
My name is Iglesias, and I work at a resort in Cuba, where I take vacationers out on sailboats to snorkel at the many coral reefs in front of the resort. Since my sailboat isn’t covered, I’m always educating guests about the importance of sun protection, especially for their heads. Many customers wear different types of hats, and some wear nothing at all—only to regret it later when they get sunburned. They often tell me their hats are uncomfortable, hard to wear while snorkeling, and don’t dry fast enough.
A Stylish and Functional Discovery
One day, a couple came to my sales hut to book a snorkel and sail trip. They caught my eye immediately because they were wearing these cool-looking sun protection hats that matched their outfits. They were very enthusiastic about going on my sailboat, and I could see they were well-prepared for a day in the sun.
Curious, I asked them where they got their hats, as they had visors, earflaps, and neck protection. The hats were white and pink, with a stylish ribbon lining around the center. They told me they bought these sun protection hats from a Canadian company called Nammu, and the logo was right there on the hat. They had discovered Nammu a few years ago during a scuba diving trip in Cozumel, where they noticed other divers wearing these hats and raving about them.
The Perfect Swim Hat for Every Water Adventure
The couple explained that Nammu hats are perfect for protecting against the sun while on a dive boat. The hats fit well with snorkel masks, offer neck protection, and the earflaps are excellent for shielding the ears underwater. One of the divers they met in Cozumel shared that he used to be prone to ear infections but hadn’t had one since he started diving with his Nammu hat. The couple also mentioned that Nammu hats can be worn comfortably for long periods of time during any activity and that they stay securely on your head.
A Generous Gift and Lasting Impression
Before they left, the couple generously gave me one of their spare Nammu hats to try. I was impressed by how comfortable and effective it was, and I started wearing it every day. I’ll always remember that happy couple and their thoughtfulness. Since then, many of my clients have asked me about the Nammu hat, and I’m always happy to direct them to the Nammu website. A few months later, I took a different couple out on an excursion, and they were wearing Nammu hats too—it’s clear that these hats have become a favorite among travelers.
