Y’all I have got to say that I loved the sun just a little too much when I was a teenager and now I’m paying for it. The feeling of warmth on my skin and that lovely sunkissed golden glow I gained, were all I was thinking about, not how much damage I would face as I got older. Have you ever had a moment where you wish you could go back in time and tell your younger self something that could change your life? Well, I would tell myself to avoid tanning oil, wear high SPF and a hat!!I’ve already faced dark spots and pre-cancerous moles and I’m thirty-something. If you could see me right now, the look of dread is upon me as I wonder what the years ahead hold. On the bright side, I purchase and use quality sunblocks these days, and am sure to wear a hat when I’m out in the sun, so hopefully I’ll avoid future damage. I don’t want to avoid the sun completely, after all it is noted as the best source for vitamin D, which I’m low on, so I’m looking for ways to allow me to enjoy the sun in a protected manor. Dorfman Pacific is helping me do this with the brimmed hat they sent me.
Dorfman Pacific is one of the largest full-line, in stock headwear companies in the world. Their hats are fashionable and functional….suitable for dress, sport and special occasion wear.

Priced affordably from $20-75. ~ Dorfman PacificI received a floppy style hat with 4 inch brim. It’s made of paper braid and is self sizing with a tie that can be pulled for adjustment. I love the turquoise trim on my selection as it shows off my favorite color and adds a pretty detail, perfect for wearing with the lovely colors of spring and summer. I know this hat will be wonderful to wear to the lake, gardening in my backyard or when I’m watching spring ballgames. Since it carries a UPF sun protection factor of 50, I’ll be protected from harmful sun rays on my face and neck, too. Being made of paper braid allows this hat to be folded and packed easily while still retaining shape when being used. I like that it’s also lightweight.May is Melanoma Awareness Month and an important reminder to protect yourself and your children from the sun. Purchase your Dorfman Pacific hat today!!
