I've always worn baseball caps of different styles for fishing. They shield much of your face, but leave ears and neck fully exposed. I picked up two military surplus boonie hats over the weekend. When you pull these hats down, they fully cover your ears, and shade your face much more than a standard ball cap. This hat, combined with a neck gator, and sun screen, should work out well for sun protection. It will be hot before we know it. Take precautions against sun exposure. You'll be glad you did.
