How do you keep a wide brim hat on your head?
Stretch a large, wide elastic band around your head. The band should lie flat, not twist or curl. The elastic grabs the hat material, keeping it in place. This trick is good for paperboy-style hats and berets.
How do you know if a hat is too small?
The sweatband inside the hat should provide a snug fit, not a tight fit. If you feel any tension or end up with deep red marks on your forehead, pick a looser-fitting hat. If you can fit one finger between your head and the cap then you know you have the right size.
Should I wear a hat in the sun?
For the most protection, wear a hat with a brim all the way around that shades your face, ears, and the back of your neck.
