Sun protective hat experiences/recommendations?

Does anyone want to talk about ✨sun protection hat✨ recommendations? I have a few of the styles pictured, but none is quite perfect. Wearing sunscreen on exposed skin is great, but in this economy? reducing the amount needed is practical.

Although I’ve included a couple balaclava/face mask styles above, the masks can be worn down under the chin. In my area, I’d absolutely be harassed if I wore them as shown. Weird full face sun visor? I’d get some laughs, but sure. Cloth face covering? No.

Shawl hat (top left corner): The movie star. Looks a little dramatic, but effective! I haven’t tried this style yet, and I’d love to hear others’ experiences. Shoulder coverage, but the gap in the front may expose part of the neck and décolleté.

Deep bonnet style (center top, center): Search for Dr. Livingston in style. Another one I haven’t tried. The mask can often be tucked below your chin. These options show a full coverage “shawl” style (top center) and a shorter gaiter style that protects the neck and part of the décolleté.

Extra wide brim (top right corner): The classic. Great shade, but lighter hats fly away in even the slight breeze of a brisk walk, and the chin tie just keeps it from flying away rather than keeping the brim down. Heavier (straw) versions leave an unsightly forehead dent. Does not protect the neck and décolleté if the sun is at even a slight angle.

Balaclava, hood (bottom center): Ready for your personal Assassin’s Creed spinoff. Can be worn with the mask under the chin. Protects the neck and décolleté, but needs to be paired with sunglasses. Very short “brim” doesn’t protect the top of the face as well.

Bucket Hat (bottom left, center sides): Get your 90s retro on. Moderate shade and the down-tilted brim helps it stay in place, but a less protective version of the wide-brimmed hat.

Hat with neck cover (bottom right): Says, “Ask me about my garden!” The major benefit is that the neck cover, if long enough, protects the neck and décolleté while the hat protects the hair, scalp, and ears. You could probably mock up something similar by draping a scarf over the chin tie of the hats which have them. In this one, the neck cover is attached, which avoids the risk of losing your scarf.

Full face sunglasses (final picture): Look cool! But would probably fog up, like, instantly.

I yoinked these pics from Amazon listings; I didn’t want to plop a lot of links in here. Most of these have multiple dupes on that site; they aren’t unique.

I focused on hats above, but I’d love to hear about non-hat options. Are there neck gaiters that snap or tie, so you don’t have to drag a piece of cloth over your beautifully made-up face? ”Golf patches” may give extra protection to the top of your cheeks, but they might interfere with real sunscreen. I’ve seen fingerless and palmless gloves to help you stay cool while protecting your hands. And while I’ve included shawl hats, there are also lightweight sleeved shawls so you can cover your t-shirted self outside without adding an extra hot layer to your torso.
