Sun/beach/gardening hat recommendation...

[jak of in]

My dh & I are going to Hawaii in July. My skin is very fair and I burn easily...I am definitely not a sun worshiper! I need to find a hat to wear to protect my face, ears and neck from the sun. It needs to be comfortable, packable, cool, lightweight, and inexpensive.  Any recommendations for a good one? I don't usually wear hats, but feel like I need to on this vacation, even if it looks funny.

I burn thinking about the sun.

This is the hat I wear. Packable, light, amazing burn protection and a string for when it's windy.

You can probably find a similar knock off cheaper if $30 is too much.

I love this one for it's wide brim, it's attractiveness, and it's ability to roll up for ease of storage.

When I went to Hawaii a couple years ago, this hat was great.

I have a couple that I just got at a Columbia outlet. They are new at the outlet, but I didn't see them on the site.

 

The straw one on the site is cute, I think. I think the chin strap is needed in case there is a breeze at the beach: http://www.columbia.com/womens-global-adventure-packable-hat-CL9966.html?dwvar_CL9966_variationColor=591#q=women's+hat+spf&start=1
