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.
"Perfect Fit for purpose Very comfortable"
This was washed... not needed washing yet
This was worn by... Grandma
Sizing: A little generous
I'd recommend this to a friend.
"This is the quality you'd expect from this brand and is a great colour. I bought it for myself after the children having Pick-a-Pooh hats for years, but I find it a bit small and crucially it doesn't shade my neck or eyes well. I'm hoping to persuade my son to wear it so it gets some use and the search for the perfect hat continues ..."

I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.
"Hi there I am sorry to hear that our broad-brimmed hat didn't meet your expectations. We offer free UK exchanges if you would like to try a bigger size, or I would recommend the Sofie hat if you are looking for maximum eye and neck shading. Feel free to send us an email or give us a ring and we can sort out this exchange for you. Anna Cambridge Baby Team"
"A good hat! It does the job and is light, comfortable and keeps the sun off my ears and neck, which is what I hoped. And you can scrunch it up into your pocket. I would add, however, if there's anything more than a light breeze, the rim will buckle and bend and flap down in front of your eyes... But I'm happy with it."
This was worn by... A grown up... hiking, gardening, enjoying tea al fresco...
Sizing: Feels true to size
"Excellent quality, washed well when I spilt coffee on it and didn't shrink.! I use it for walking and gardening. Perfect size brim to shade face but not too wide and floppy. I wondered how this would also fit a child but it's adjustable with a tape so easily done."
This was washed... washed fine
This was worn by... Me!
"We have several UV hats but this is my preferred one given its size and cover. Also looks gorgeous and being unpatterned also looks good with many outfits. Has washed well."
This was worn by... My 5 year old, for 2
"My partner is a sheep farmer and this hat does the job very well and in organic cotton and a great navy colour - he’s happy!"
