Buona qualità, ma vorrei la tesa più larga

Sto usando questo cappello da bagno alle terme, in acque termali sulfuree, quindi non propriamente “marine”… e devo dire che sta resistendo benissimo! Il materiale sembra davvero di qualità e non si sta rovinando nonostante l’uso intensivo.
Lo sto mettendo a dura prova e finora ha superato ogni test.
L’unico piccolo appunto è che mi piacerebbe moltissimo se questo modello fosse disponibile anche con una tesa più larga, per avere maggiore protezione dal sole. Sarebbe perfetto!

Buongiorno,

Grazie mille per la sua recensione così positiva!

Siamo lieti di sapere che il cappello stia resistendo bene anche in condizioni così particolari – è una bella conferma della qualità dei materiali e della protezione anti-UV che garantiamo (certificazione UPF 50+).

Per quanto riguarda la tesa, il suo suggerimento è molto pertinente. Comprendiamo perfettamente il desiderio di una protezione solare ancora maggiore. Trasmettiamo la sua richiesta al nostro team per le future collezioni.

Cordiali saluti,
Il Team Ker Sun
