Common questions about kids' wide brim and bucket hats

Can it be packed easily for holiday?

Yes. All hats have soft crowns and flexible brims that fold or roll into a bag and spring back into shape when they come out.

Why choose equatorsun for kids' wide brim sun hats?

Ordinary children's sun hats are rarely tested for UV and they can let through up to 10 times more UV than UPF 50+ children's sun hats. Every equatorsun piece is tested to the AS/NZS 4399 or EN 13758 standard and certified UPF 50+, which means the fabric blocks at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays from reaching the skin it covers, and the protection cannot wash out or wear off. Leading UK consultant dermatologist Dr Dev Shah recommends the equatorsun range. We're a UK family business and have specialised in sun protective clothing since 2006.
