Neck Shades Keep You Cool When Temperatures are Hot

July 27, 2015

Late July to mid August typically brings the most dangerous temperatures of the season creating a sharp rise in heat-related illnesses. One of the easiest and most effect ways to enhance protection for outdoor work is by shielding the neck, face, and ears from the sun with lightweight materials such as neck shades. Using ANSI neck shades can offer multiple advantages:

  • They block up to 99% of the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays, keeping the wearer cooler and protected from the sun.
  • They attach easily and securely to hard hats with an elastic edge.
  • They provide high-visibility on the job and are available in lime with 1-1/2” orange/silver/orange reflective stripes or orange with lime/silver/lime reflective stripes.

For jobs that don't require high-vis wear, economy nape protectors, are made of 100% white cotton. These are also effective in refracting the sun's rays making outdoor work more cool and comfortable.
