Bill,
Orvis makes a cap that has a cape around the back and nicely fits around
the front of your ears. The color is light brown and has a nice strap on
the back to tighten it up with. A bit pricey, but I am fair skinned and
have had plenty of cumulitive damage already in my life, so I look at it as
an investment in my future.
