Exposure to rain and sun can cause discomfort, illness and even accidents. Traditional personal protective devices, such as umbrellas and hats, are bulky, heavy and can be difficult to use, especially in adverse conditions.
The personal protective device is an innovative solution that offers protection from rain and sun in a versatile, affordable and comfortable way. The device is light, compact and has no frame, allowing the user to keep their hands free.
The device consists of two materials: a cover material, which can be made of plastic or waterproof fabric, and a memory material, which gives the device weight and stability. The covering material is attached to the user’s head using a bandana or some elastic material.
