The Bald sailor and his special swim cap

Finding the Perfect Sun Protection for Sailing and Water Sports

I was eagerly anticipating sailing on my boat, but I remembered the sunburn issues I faced last year. Although I wore a baseball hat most of the time, it didn’t offer adequate protection. I enjoy diving off the boat into open water and wakeboarding, but as a bald person, my head, ears, and neck were exposed to the sun. The baseball cap protected my head but was not suitable for diving or for full sun protection while sailing.

Discovering Nammu Sun Protection

A friend of mine, who is undergoing chemotherapy and is on the mend, was always seen wearing a cool-looking hat. When I asked him about it, he mentioned it was a Nammu hat. Curious, I went online and discovered Nammu Sun Protection, a Canadian company offering solutions for sun protection. I was hopeful this could be the answer to my sunburn problems.

Choosing the Right Nammu Hats and Swim Shirt

I decided to purchase the Nammu sun protective hats with extra UV protection, earflaps, and visors. I ordered two hats and also bought a swim shirt. The moment I received the Nammu products, I was impressed. The hats fit comfortably with a tie at the back for added security and are made from spandex and nylon with a UV rating of 50+. The fabric is soft, dries quickly, and comfortably accommodates a snorkelling mask.

Enjoying Sun Protection and Comfort

During my sailing and water activities, the Nammu hat stayed securely in place, even while diving into the open water. I wore it for hours without any discomfort or sunburn concerns. The swim shirt was equally effective, ensuring that my days of sunburn were over. Nammu’s simple yet effective products provided the excellent sun protection I needed.
