All of Pickapooh's sunhats including the fireman sunhat are made from 100% organic cotton. If you have a look on the label it should say 100% baumwolle (KbA) the “KbA” stands for “kontrolliert biologischer Anbau” which is German for “certified organic farming” and the abbreviation for organic cotton certified by an independent institute, which in the case of Pickapooh is GOTS, the Global Organic Textile Standard.
The organic cotton is GOTS certified by IVN. Organic cotton is better for your child, cotton farmers, garment makers, their families and the environment.
By choosing organic you are making an investment not only in the health of your child but also in the world they will grow up in.
The Pickapooh organic cotton offers UV protection at three levels; UPF 20, 60 and 80. The ultraviolet protection is free of any chemical additions. All items made from these materials reliably safeguard from the damaging effects of UV radiation.
PICKAPOOH sun protection is certified according to the most stringent rules of the UV-Standard 801. This standard tests real wearing conditions and offers reliable UPF values regulated by Stiftung Warentest. “UV protect” labels awarded by the UV-Standard 801 are attached to each garment.
A small amount of shrinkage may occur in the first couple of washes, but the clothes are made slightly bigger to accomodate this. Air dry, and re-shape while damp if necessary.
To help all your clothes last longer, always air dry rather than tumble dry.
To reduce calcium build-up which can contribute to a hardening of your clothing, add a little vinegar to your rinse cycle.
"I got one for my pal because he gets sunstroke at the allotment. It arrived really quickly and you could tell it was good quality, both in terms of fabric and craftsmanship. I liked the fit so much I got one for myself for casual summer wear too. Have used it a lot and works really well - draw string is also really useful as my nephew has borrowed it on sunny days. This is my third purchase from Cambridge baby, would recommend to anyone."

"I bought this hat having read about children don't cartwheels in them. It works. My daughter loves the feel and look and it stays on without any tightness or input from me! Downside is that there aren't patterned versions."

"This has really protected fair skin from the sun. It has not faded or become worn. Adjustable strap helps to ensure it stays on when at the beach!"
This was worn by... my 10yr old and myself
"Both my two - girl and boy with similar sized heads, happily wear these hats. They can be tightened which helps on a windy day. Plus enough coverage around for the neck and nose. Fab. I had to give one to nursery so bought more to stock up. Would by the next size as needed."
