Sneak peak at our Hoodz

[Issued by Right Stuff] With the high incidence of skin cancer comes the unique idea of adding extra sun protection to your everyday peak cap. The average cap is great for cutting the glare, but is it providing enough (if any) protection for your ears and sides of your face? The solution is the patented Hoodz which snap onto your favourite peak cap, providing additional sun protection for the critical high-risk zones - face and ears - particularly during the UV danger period between 10am and 3pm, when radiation from the sun is most damaging. 8 Feb 2008 14:01

[Issued by Right Stuff] With every New Year comes new challenges, opportunities, new jobs, perhaps a new school for the kids... as well as the inevitable (and usually dreaded) price increases. No matter what, you can always be assured that one or more services that you subscribe to will send you a letter or e-mail advising you that, despite their greatest efforts (hmmm...), they have no alternative but to increase their fees for the new year... just like last year, the year before that, and the year before that one. 8 Jan 2008 15:58
