Scala Raffia Sun Visor from Dorfman Pacific – Springing into Summer Fun

Backyard BBQ’s and Home Gardening and Softball Games, oh my. That is a lot of Summertime fun in the sun. I love being out in the Summer sun, I really do. It is just a little more difficult for me to enjoy now. I have been near-sighted since the fourth grade and have worn glasses for that long as well. I am now, I am told, as near-sighted as a person can be. This is complicated by side-effects from the small pharmacy worth of medications I take daily. I experience dry eye, blurry vision and sun sensitivity among others. I have tried prescription sun glasses and transitional lenses, but I just don’t care for them. My favorite option for fighting face scorching and constant squinting is a great visor.  

I prefer a visor to the full sun hat because the headrest of my power chair tends to make a full brimmed hat feel uncomfortable and awkward. I received the Scala Raffia Sun Visor from Dorfman Pacific to review. This style is available in 11 different colors, from the fashion basics to eye popping accent colors. I decided to go with the black, thinking a wardrobe staple would be the best role for my new Summer hat to play and I love the contrast of the natural raffia against the black cotton fabric. 

See how it keeps my face and neck completely shaded?

The absolute best feature of this hat is the 4 inch brim, it is by far the longest and widest brim I have ever found on a visor and I love it.  They are one size fits most and have a very long velcro backstrap on it, so you can adjust and readjust to get the perfect fit every time.  Since I wear my hair differently at times and that makes a big difference in the fit of a hat, I tend to ‘refit’ it frequently. 


I will be sporting my visor on all the sunny days ahead!
