When it comes to sun protection, the right hat does more than just complete your outfit, it helps to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.At Solbari, we believe that style and comfort should never come at the expense of sun safety. Every Solbari sun hat is crafted with UPF 50+ fabric, blocking at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays. Our hats are built for all day wear and maximum protection. They are designed in Australia and tested under some of the world’s harshest UV conditions in a government approved laboratory. All Solbari hats are certified UPF 50+ following rigorous testing to internationally recognized scientific testing standards. Here’s how to find the one that’s right for you. 1. Choose your coverage While all Solbari fabrics block at least 98% of UVA & UVB rays and are certified UPF 50+, not all brim lengths offer the same level of protection so it’s important to choose a style that matches your sun exposure needs. Wide brim: Full face, neck and ear coverage. Legionnaire-style: Added neck flap for high-exposure days Bucket hat/visor: Great for casual, everyday wear 2.

The A B C D E of skin checking

It is very difficult to the untrained eye to identify melanomas and skin cancers because they can come in many different shapes and sizes. As Associate Professor Rosemary Nixon from the Skin & Cancer Foundation Inc. says, "the earlier a skin cancer is identified and treated, the better the chance of avoiding surgery, or in the case of a serious melanoma or skin cancer, potential disfigurement or even death."
