This cowboy style hat gives sun protection as well as protection from face stings. For extra security you can put your arms through the loops and it holds the veil down securely. Most often my bees are gentle so I only put the hat on.

Recently wearing a bee jacket for first time with a new hive I found I far preferred to take off the jacket hood and use this cowboy hat instead. It stays firm on your head and doesn't shift back and forth. There's a chin strap too (That must be new because I haven't seen one before) that gives extra security to keep the hat in place.
You don't want to fuss with a veil and hat when working with bees. The hat should not distract from the task at hand and this hat does that the best. Price is great too.

Great!
