To wear it, simply hang it over your favorite cap. The elastic cord allows you to adjust the circumference of your head to fit your head size.
Material
This product uses COOL DOTS® with 4-way stretch (stretches vertically and horizontally).
COOL DOTS® is a highly functional material developed by Komatsu Matere Co., Ltd., made of 100% polyester with countless tiny air holes and excellent stretchability and breathability.

Three ways to use
This ``Sunshade'' can be used in three ways.
① Use as is.
It completely covers the nape of the neck and ears. It is a good way to wear it, but it is susceptible to the effects of the wind and tends to flap around when the wind blows.
② Wear by fastening the snap buttons.
By fastening the snap buttons around the neck, it prevents flapping in the wind and protects your neck from the sun.
③ Fasten the snap buttons at the back of your head and wear it.
This way of wearing it allows for good ventilation around the neck and minimises flapping caused by the wind.
In this way, try changing the way you wear it depending on the situation.
When using hats
When wearing hats with a brim that extends to the back, please attach this ``Sunshade'' before putting on the hat, and then put on the hat.
When carrying it around, it is compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
