“…Generally, sun-protective hat research has been limited to simulations using models, usually in a stationary position (Diffy & Cheeseman, 1992) and to specific occupational groups, such as farmers, without addressing specific body positions or sun angles (Lee et al, 1992;Stone, 1999). In addition, previous studies have been limited to studying specific sites on the face and neck for sun protection under various hats (Diffy & Cheeseman, 1992;Keeling et al, 1989;Lee et al, 1992). This study focuses on the area of the body shaded by the hats instead of analysis of face and neck protection from the sun.…”
