RE: [Philmont]: sombrero hats

I guess I will need to change my backpacking atire. I was not aware that
hats protected as much as they do. I don't quite understand how it does
it though. Which brings up another question.

What about using a polyester material hat instead of cotton. All these UV
protective shirts that I have seen are made of polyester. So I'm assuming
poly protects from UV rays better than cotton. Just throwing it out
there.

I guess if I was worried enough about UV rays I'd just stay inside, which
is NOT an option.
