The Sunburn Hall of Shame! Top Tanning Fails That’ll Have You Seeing Red

Clearly Mesh Is Not Sunscreen

Embarking on a 30-mile bike odyssey, this cyclist chose a hat that promised a breeze but played a UV trick. While the mesh hat’s design is a nod to comfort, allowing cool air to flow through and prevent overheating, it acts like a sieve for sunlight, weaving a pattern of tan lines across the scalp.

It’s a visual pun of sorts—his head a testament to the path of least resistance for both air and sun rays. The sun is a stealthy artist, after all. Balancing sun protection with ventilation is key; dermatologists would suggest a tightly woven fabric that blocks UV rays while still allowing the skin to breathe.
