[pct-l] sun protection
JoAnn, my favorite sun protection is a nylon Patagonia baseball cap-style
hat with a light-colored bandanna underneath it - I put the bandanna on my
head (maybe wetted down first), then put the cap on and tighten the cap.
I've tried the various "french foreign legion" caps with the attached drapes
but they are usually too large for me, and can't be adjusted comfortably.
For some reason the Patagonia caps fit (size small) - and the two I have
were purchased on sale and/or at the outlet in Ventura....;-). The nylon's
cool and dries fast.
Most hats make my scalp itch, but the ball cap doesn't.
It probably looks dorky, but not as dorky as the sunshades that Chuck made
to attach to our packs. THOSE lasted two days. Huge dork factor, and not
effective anyway.

Okay Guys and Gals, what's "best" for sun protection to the brain container
(i.e. head) for doing Section A this April? There are tons of possibilities,
I know. I'd like to hear what proves to be mid-range in cost; light weight;
covers the ears and neck, and makes me look as non-dorkish as possible (my
daughters already swear I AM a dork, but, since when do we listen to our
kids?!)
