Sun Hat on Shabbat

Question

Is there a prohibition on wearing a sun hat on Shabbat (intended for shade)?

Answer

Shalom,

If the width is less than a tefach, it is permitted. One may be lenient up to a measurement of 9.6 cm.

And one should not protest against those who are lenient in this matter, even if it is more than that.
