Good to know
Frequently asked questions: Sun Hats & Sun Caps
Which size sun hat does my baby or toddler need?
Our sun hats and sun caps are sized by age: 0-1 year, 1-2 years, 2-4 years and 4-8 years. If your child is between two sizes, choose the larger one; the ties on our sun hats keep them in place. They are made of lightweight, breathable fabric with UV protection, to protect the head and face from the sun.
What is the difference between a sun hat and a sun cap?
A Swim Essentials sun cap has an extra flap at the back that protects the neck from the sun. A sun hat has a brim all the way around and no neck flap. Both are made from fabric with UV protection. A cap with a neck flap is handy on the beach and when playing in the water, a hat gives more shade around the face.
Which UV-protective clothing is suitable for babies?
For babies, UV clothing with long sleeves and a sun hat or a sun cap with a neck flap is the most practical. Swim Essentials has UV swimsuits and UV swim shirts with UPF 50+ from size 62/68, and sun hats and sun caps with UV protection from 0/1 year. Also keep young babies in the shade as much as possible.
How does a sun hat stay on a toddler’s head?
Choose a sun hat with ties. Many of our sun hats have ties that fasten under the chin, so the hat stays on while running, playing and splashing. The sun caps are made from stretchy fabric with a soft lining, so they fit snugly around the head. Choose the size by age, and the larger size when in doubt.
What is a reversible sun hat?
A reversible sun hat can be worn on both sides, so you get two looks in one hat. The Roamer hat, for example, is brown leopard on one side and plain brown on the other. We have reversible sun hats in Roamer, Crabby, Daisy Flower, Florish and Surfer, among others.
What are the sun hats and caps made of?
Our sun hats are made of 100% polyester: soft, light and breathable. The sun caps are made of 82% polyester and 18% elastane with a soft lining, for some models with recycled polyester. The fabric stretches and fits snugly around the head. Both protect the head from the sun while playing.
