UPF 50+ Sun Hats for Men & Women

The right sun hat does more than complete an outfit. It helps protect some of the most UV-exposed areas of the body, including the face, ears, scalp, and neck. Solbari's collection of UPF 50+ sun hats includes wide-brim, ultra-wide-brim, bucket, neck-protection, and packable travel styles for both men and women, making it easy to find the right level of coverage for everything from everyday wear and travel to outdoor activities and high-UV environments. Solbari sun hats help protect covered skin from sun exposure by blocking UV rays through the fabric. It is recommended to wear SPF sunscreen on exposed areas, not covered by the UPF 50+ fabric, due to UV reflection from surfaces and skin exposed to the sun. 

Every fabric in the hat collection is independently tested and certified UPF 50+, blocking at least 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. From lightweight travel hats and versatile bucket hats to broad-brim styles with extra shade, Solbari offers sun hats with certified sun protection and practical everyday wearability. Solbari recommends people wear wide-brim and broad-brim hats as well as bucket hats as these usually offer more coverage rather than caps.

Many styles feature practical details such as adjustable sizing, moisture-wicking sweatbands, packable construction, chin straps, and neck coverage options for more exposed conditions. Solbari is also recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, providing additional confidence in the performance of every hat.
