Here at Frostproof we have garden hand tools galore. Many gardeners protect their plants with animal repellent and shade cloth, but they often forget to protect themselves when they’re out working in the garden or landscaping their lawns. That’s why we have a great supply of hats to protect you from the sun...and a couple to protect you if you’re harvesting from a tree!

Sun Hats

We have a great selection of hats from Tula, makers of women’s hats and unisex hats for gardening. These high-quality hats are made from palm fibers; these fibers, when coupled with the hat’s light color, keep them cool to the touch. They’re also the equivalent of 50 SPF, which means you don’t necessarily have to put sun protection on your face every time you head out. The wide 4-inch brims ensure that a large portion of your face is covered at all times. The neck strap will keep it in place even when the high winds pick up or when you’re bending over to weed.

Not only do these gardening hats protect well, but they also look great! Put on one of these hats and you look like a gardener, which means you’ll feel like a gardener. And if people see you in it, you can tell them all about your garden!

Hard Pith Helmets

t doesn’t matter whether you’re picking fruit from your backyard trees or if you’re working 8-hours a day in the orchard. If you’re harvesting overhead fruit, a hard-shell pith helmet is a great idea. While having an apple hit you on your unprotected head won’t knock you unconscious, it could startle you so much that fall off the ladder. At the least, you’re going to end up with a bruise that could have been avoided. (If you’re not picking fruit but like the look of a pith helmet style gardening hat, we have those too.)

When you’re gardening or picking, make sure you have the proper headgear that will keep you looking and feeling great. Check out all of our garden hats right here. (Warning: typing in “hat” also brings up hatchet; please don’t try to wear a small ax on your head!)
