Attention Wives: Looking for the Christmas gift for the guy that has everything? I bet he doesn’t have a crushable hat! What better way to show that special someone in your life how much you love him by giving him not only a stylish hat, but protecting him from skin cancer as well.
A couple of months ago I enlightened you on how bad melanoma sucks, and what one company is doing about it. I cannot say it enough – we all have to worry about skin cancer. You can read about what I had to say here.
Basically, I gave the low down on Coolibar, an Australian company that specializes in skin cancer prevention by making high quality SPF clothes. I took their Crushable Ventilated Canvas Hat (MSRP $45) on a surf trip to Mexico and tested it’s durability by smashing it in a bag between a couple surfboards and loading it on a multi-leg plane trip. Check out the packing job here:
I thought for sure the hat was a goner, but when I got to my palapa and started unpacking my gear, the hat folded right back into its original shape! I wore the hat the entire trip, and it saved me a couple times on some long, shade-less hikes along the beach. The proofs always in the pudding, so here is a picture of me all sweaty and sunscreened up, with a nice, crush-proof hat on my dome:
Now the hat isn’t just for international trips. I’ve found it to be handy in many situations, like watching live sports, yard work, hanging at the beach, going on walks and spending time on the water.
If you are frantically searching for a thoughtful Christmas gift, consider this very high quality and durable hat.
