    We’ve solved this problem with technology, you no longer have to choose between shade and looking cool.

    Which way is the cool way though? You want the designer in front or back? I'm going to say it's situation dependent. Out by yourself? Pattern back would be cooler. But you wanna put your best front forward for like a job interview.

    I was out hiking a couple years ago when I suddenly realised that I had become the guy with shades and a backwards cap. It's practical: I want to prevent a sunburn in my neck (the backwards cap) and also not have the sun in my eyes (shades). I spent some time coming to terms with it, but now that's how I'm regularly equipped in harsh sun in the mountains. It's simply the optimal solution to sun protection while hiking (I've tried wide-brimmed hats, but they get caught in the wind too easily in my experience).

    Pfft. Turtleneck. Or more realistically, one of them “buff” things. Basically turns whatever you’re wearing into a turtleneck.

    Hats are hot and stuffy, I’ve found. I carry an umbrella as a parasol unless I’m biking or need both hands. Then it’s the Buff.

    Also, a backwards hat to protect from the sun realistically offers dubious protection unless you are always walking directly away from the sun.

    I use a buff to keep warm in winter, couldn't imagine wearing one in summer!

    a backwards hat to protect from the sun realistically offers dubious protection unless you are always walking directly away from the sun.

    I typically flip it depending on sun direction. I've found the neck to be most critical though, I don't seem to burn as easily on the sides/front.

    When i do it, the cap's to keep my hair in check and the sunglasses are superior to the brim, which i don't like how it also obstructs the top of my vision.

    Nowadays though i just use a hair tie

    I want a modern Sherlock Holmes style hat that's just a baseball cap with 2 brims.

  • It's so you can look cool and still see square.

    It would cut into the bro bro factor

    I was going to try to defend these guys and say that a sunburned neck suuuucks, but then I remembered where the sun needs to be in order for you to desperately need the bill to shade your eyes...

    At some point the meaning of the baseball cap worn backwards flipped from “streetwise hepcat who can probably breakdance and/or scratch and is handy with a spraycan” to “basic macho dude”
