Straw Visor – Keeps the Sun Off Your Face, Not on Your Scalp

The brim is woven wide and reaches out past your nose and cheeks, which is where a narrow one gives up. Above it there is nothing: the top of your head stays open to the air. A band at the back adjusts, so it fits across most head sizes.

Why choose this straw visor?

An afternoon spent squinting into the light gets tiring by about four o'clock. A brim with real reach pulls the glare out of your eyeline and holds shade over your face. Leaving the crown open is what makes it wearable for hours rather than minutes.

Open top: heat leaves straight up instead of collecting against your head.
Long shade line: the brim reaches well past your face, so eyes and cheeks stay covered.
Woven straw body: light to wear and stiff enough to hold the brim's shape.
Rear adjustment: opens and closes to sit firm on the head without pinching.
Plain shape: it reads the same on the beach, on the court or in the garden.

The brim does the work and your head stays in the breeze.

Set the back band so it rides just above the ears, then tilt the brim to whatever angle puts the sun behind it. Straw is happiest stored flat or on a shelf rather than crushed into a bag. If it gets wet, dry it in shape and away from a radiator.
