Comment on Can tin foil hats block anything? (2015)

Comments

Like other hats, tin foil would be effective in preventing sunlight burning your skin and causing melanoma etc.

Would be a useful material to have in a desert island scenario.

It would also reflect light significantly, which could be useful to get attention from rescuers.

Was just going to comment that myself. It is a useful property for us pasty nerds when we venture out.
