Hello friends. I just finished my article about sombreros, and I had a thought. We all know that conical straw hats and sombreros are great, but which is greater? This is why we are here. There are three qualities that I will be judging with my own hats expertise. These qualities are: Versatility, Obscurity, and UV Ray Protection Capabilities.
Round 1: Versatility
The conical straw hat is very versatile. Although the form of the conical straw hat does not vary so much, its use in the community does. Conical straw hats are worn by farmers, students, vendors, and all other commoners who think they can handle its greatness. All conical straw hats have a similar structure, and they are quite recognizable.
The sombrero is a hat that has changed over time and has many different styles. The sombrero has been worn by cowboys, musicians, and other badasses. The sombrero varies in style quite a bit. The term can apply to almost any wide-brimmed circular hat. Sombreros can be made of felt or straw. And this is an impressive aspect of the hat.
I have to give round 1 to the sombrero. The term "conical straw hat" applies to a very specific type of hat, while sombrero is a much more loosely defined term. The sombrero's potential to be made of felt or straw was the deciding factor.
Round 2: Obscurity
The sombrero is beautiful because of its varying designs and often has colorful designs of flowers or dragons or even the sun. These hats are typically reserved for wealthier individuals. It is somewhat obscure to see a hat that is covered with art.
The conical straw hat is incredibly obscure. The person who designed this hat is a mad genius. You are wearing a cone on your head. And the conical straw hat consumes your head, and you become a part of it. (This is one way that it differs from the party hat (See figures 1a and 1b). The hat is not your accessory. You are the hat's accessory. It is truly unique to see a hat that commands so much attention. The hat is large, and it looks like you are wearing a giant lamp shade (See Figures 2a and 2b). The conical straw hat is only accepted socially in parts of Asia. The sombrero is accepted in many different regions. You will almost surely see more sombreros in your lifespan than conical straw hats. Conical straw hats are clearly more ob
scure.Conical straw hats are more obscure because they have a more unique appearance and because they are rarely seen outside of their place of origin.
Round 3: UV Ray Protection Capabilities
Well, it all comes down to this. Which hat offers better protection from harmful UV rays? First we will look at the design of the two hats. Sombreros take advantage of a wide circular brim to provide shade. Conical straw hats use a conical shape to spread out the shade over a large area. To truly understand the capabilities of these hats, I must actually wear them. I sat out in the sun for several hours wearing both hats. The heat was the same on both days. 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Below you can see a graph displaying my discomfort (measured in glarks) over an extended period of time.
As you can see, the conical straw hat was more efficient for protecting my incredibly pale face from the harmful rays of the Sun. It was pretty close, but the Conical straw hat is the winner.
