Wish I'd had this cap this summer, bought it at the end of the season so haven't had chance to try it yet. It's made of light, cool material and can be worn open or closed. Easily adjustable for size but the peak might be a little long for visibility while working.
Just go for it.
good product very useful
Black colour is required
Hello Prashant
It is a desert trekking cap designed to be used in desert while Desert Trek/Safari and a black color absorbs more heat and is not a suitable color for desert trekking.
I hope the information was helpful, Kindly write back to me in case of any further queries.

Good product. Lightweight. Breathable. Fits into a large pocket. Know what I wish? That the top snap was somehow adjustable- I have great difficulty snapping the top snap because of my huge falang nose.

Оразмерена е така, че да става на по-големи глави, а като се пристяга отзад е удобна и за по-малки. Отлично пази от изгаряне - пробвах я на 9-часов планински преход между 1800 и 2600 метра надморска височина в Рила (частично сняг). Защитава темето (особено ако сте с къса коса), лицето, шията и ушите. Проветрива е. Препоръчвам я за преходи в снежни топли условия, когато слънцето напича а снегът отразява силно. Теглото е 77 грама.
Имах нужда точно от такъв вид шапка, за да мога да предпазвам лицето си от слънцето поради заболяване.
Vše v pořádku, splňuje vše co jsem očekávala. Maximální o hrana před sluncem.....
I bought this cap for sun protection for hiking because wearing sunscreen on my face can be annoying with sweat in the summer. I wore it once and it was perfect - the material is very light and depending on the sunlight you can wear it closed or open. I like how the underside of the visor is black, so I didn't even need my sunglasses.
Excelente para usar en zonas desérticas
despues de tenerla en las manos he decidido devolverla, la gorra no tiene cuerpo es totalnente de tela sin refuerzos o preforma para la cabeza, a parte los clip de sujecion dejan mucho que desear, tendre que volver a la gorra de siempre conbinada con una braga finita para cuello y cara.

Usada en el desierto. Ligera y practica
Trabajaba en una planta solar y me vino de maravilla para protegerme toda la cabeza, cómoda, amplia visera, faldón k te cubre todo el cuello y te puedes tapar parte o toda la cara. Si te molesta el faldón se puede recoger con la goma de ajuste a modo de coleta. Ahora la uso para la nautica
excelente
Buena calidad de la tela y vicera flexible

What criteria must a cap meet in order to qualify as "uv-protective"?
UV protection standards for hats are very specific: The fabric must of course be anti-UV (UPF index greater than 50), but this is not enough to claim the finished product is anti-UV. The cap also needs to have a panel width that completely protects the face and neck. The Trek 900 cap meets these requirements so you can go hiking with complete peace of mind: you are perfectly protected!
Why is the inside of the visor darker?
When you walk in the sand, the sun’s rays reflect off the inside of the visor and can dazzle you. To avoid this, we chose a darker color that avoids this unpleasant reflection.
Why hide your face in the desert?
Those who have already experienced one will confirm that sandstorms are frequent in the desert. So you need to cover your face if you do not want to be eating sand for the rest of your trek! Our cap has 2 press studs to hold the cap’s cover in front of your face. This function also protects the face and neck from UV rays.
Why protect your neck?
You may not know it, but sunstroke does not come just from exposing your head to UV. You can also get sunstroke if your neck is exposed. To prevent this, our Desert 500 cap has long panels that cover the back of the neck, down to the shoulders.

Product testing
This cap took 2 years to complete as we, the design team, weren't happy with the performance of the cap during the first field tests. So we improved the design, changed the fabric and simplified the flap fastening, resulting in the cap you see today!
