Don't Forget Your Hat!

Eric and I Discussing Hats

Ask any seasonal worker to list the top 10 things they never leave home without, and you're likely to find a hat somewhere on the list. Not only are they an article of clothing, they're incredibly practical for a number of reasons!

1. They keep your head warm

This might be obvious, but a good knit cap is indispensable because it keeps your head warm. The face, head, and chest are more sensitive to temperature change than the rest of the body, so having a good hat can make you feel more comfortable when you have to work outside.

2. They can protect you from the weather.

Cowboy hats are designed to keep sun off of both the face and neck. Baseball caps are made to shade the eyes, and knit caps cover your ears so you don't end up with frost bite. They're more than just a fashion statement; they're functional. 

3. You don't have to brush your hair.

Although hats can be functional, there's no denying that they can also be fashionable. On long trips, you might not have access to a shower for a couple of days. Throwing a hat on can hide oily hair and serve as a quick and easy way to get ready for a day of driving.
