Foldable Travelling Hats




Wish dome style.







Review from their website


Outdoors Tribe Foldable Waterproof Hat

"My best foldable travelling hat is the brand Sports Outdoors. The hat is a feminine pink colour and the brim folds into three. It also has a neck protector which you can detach.  It is convenient for swimming and protects you from the sun in your eyes when swimming."


Shopee Hat

You can find them on Amazon, Wish, Ebay, Ubuy and other websites. Magic search words include foldable, folding brim, detachable, windproof, breathable, waterproof, neck protection, built in mask, detachable mask, fishing, outdoor cap,  

Some caps are open at the top and back. It is easier to fold a light brim. However, you might want to protect the top of your head from sun or water.

Where To Exercise Outdoors In Singapore and Worldwide

Problem
Where can you exercise for free if you haven't the time and money for an indoor gym? Or maybe you just want a change? Or maybe you ate too much and feel the need for some exercise?

Around the world, the trend is to add exercise areas for adults.

For example, in London's parks in England, exercise equipment is in places such as Harrow.

In Singapore, I recently saw a man exercising on equipment near Little India MRT station. The MRT has numerous exits. You'd get some exercise marching from one exit to the next.

However, if you want outdoor exercise with a view of the sky and street, this one is on Buffalo Road.
The children's area is colourful, like the old renovated shophouses behind.

Your choices are:
Public parks and spaces
HDB (public housing blocks if you or a friend live in one).
Private housing complexes. (We were in a block several weeks before we discovered an exercise area the other end of our large complex - and another in an HDB complex which was on the way to the MRT and to which we had access.)
