Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Car Auction transforms WestWorld into a celebration of automotive craftsmanship, rare finds, and timeless design. Thousands of collectors and enthusiasts spend their days admiring chrome, horsepower, and history — all under the bright Arizona sky.
But as anyone who’s attended knows, the real test isn’t just about bidding; it’s the sun. Scottsdale’s January weather may be mild, but hours on reflective asphalt surrounded by metal and glass can turn into a long, hot day. That’s why Walkabout is proud to be on-site, helping attendees stay cool, comfortable, and protected.
Why Sun Protection Matters at Barrett-Jackson
You’ll spend most of your time walking between displays, viewing lots, or standing at outdoor auction areas. The environment is open and exposed — and the Arizona sun doesn’t take a break.
- Reflective heat: Pavement and polished cars intensify sunlight.
- Long exposure: Visitors often spend full days outside.
- Limited shade: Vendor tents and viewing areas offer only brief relief.
The right gear makes a major difference. A lightweight, breathable hat with a wide brim helps shield your face and neck, keeps glare off your eyes, and helps regulate temperature — allowing you to enjoy the event without distraction.
What to Wear to Barrett-Jackson
Choose a Reliable Hat!
A wide-brim sun hat is one of the simplest and smartest choices for long outdoor days. Walkabout hats are:
- Designed for real-world use, with materials made to breathe and wick heat away.
- Durable and functional, built to stand up to travel, dust, and extended wear.
- Comfortable, even through hours of walking and standing in direct sunlight.
Each style — including the Walkabout Voyager and Walkabout Drift — is built for comfort, function, and shade. They’re made for people who spend their days outdoors, not sitting in the shade.
