Natural UV sun protection
All these Wide Brim Sunhats are in high quality organic fabrics - chemical-free next to your child's skin. The navy UV-80 sun hats are in a denser weave which affords sun protection at a certified Factor 80 or above - wonderful, entirely natural UV protection for children.

These sunhats, we believe, are the very first natural, organic clothing to have received UV certification. There is no chemical coating - it is down to the colour and the density of the cotton.

If it is a very warm day and you feel that the sunhat might be a bit too hot, you can soak it in water. This then evaporates, keeping your boy or girl cool as well as keeping them protected.

Sizing
We have translated the centimetre sizing into approximate age bands. For greater accuracy, measure your child's head around the broadest part - usually the forehead to the back of the head - then go choose your sunhat!
Our sizing:

  • 44cm we give as 3-6m
  • 48cm we give as 6-12m (size up for bigheads!)
  • 52cm we give as 1yr - 3yrs
  • 56cm we give as 3yrs - 10yrs, but this may be the right size for your 2-year-old boy or for your 13-year-old girl. Head sizes really vary a lot! Only available in Legionnaire Style.
  • 60cm we give as 8-teen
  • SunSafe
    Remember - go get your sunhats now so your child is safe and comfortable when the heat is really on. Old sceptic that I am, I actually do believe what the dermatologists tell us: the most important sun protection is the clothing your baby or child wears - much more valuable than suntan lotion and without the chemicals too.
    So, long sleeves and a good sun hat such as this - we don't think you can get better!

    These hats are ethically made in Germany by Pickapooh.
