Stingray Kids' Bucket Hat UPF 50+

Suncream and normal clothes often do not provide your child with sufficient sun protection, leaving your child exposed to harmful UV radiation. Over exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause:

• Sunburn
• Premature ageing
• Sun spots
• Skin cancer, including melanoma
• Irreversible skin damage

Equatorsun offers UPF 50+ sun protection clothing that has been rigorously tested. Our clothing has been shown to meet and exceed the Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399:1966; ensuring our clothing is sun-safe.

The UPF 50+ rating is equivalent to wearing a permanent layer of broad-spectrum SPF 50+ suncream, except you don't have the trouble of re-applying. So you can relax the next time your child is in the sun, knowing that your child is protected.

UPF 50+ is the highest rating for sun protection clothing. It means that the fabric blocks 98% of UV rays.

All of our apparel are certified UPF 50+ under the rigorous Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399:1966.

This bucket hat is rated UPF 50+, blocking over 97.5% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. It’s designed to protect delicate skin on the face, neck, and ears during outdoor activities.

Crafted from lightweight and breathable materials, the hat ensures a cool, snug fit, even for extended periods.

The hat provides excellent coverage and sun protection, but suncream is still recommended for exposed areas of skin and to protect against any reflected UV rays.

To ensure longevity, machine wash the hat in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Hang to dry in the shade to maintain its colour and elasticity over time.

The Kids' Bucket Hat is perfect for children needing additional sun protection, especially those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema, vitiligo, or photosensitivity. With its UPF 50+ rating, it blocks over 97.5% of harmful UV rays, providing excellent coverage for the face, ears, and neck. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and offers peace of mind for parents concerned about sun exposure.

Our UPF 50+ clothing offers superior protection by blocking over 97.5% of harmful UV rays, unlike regular clothing, which often provides little or no UV defence. Standard fabrics may let UV rays penetrate, leading to sunburn and long-term skin damage. In contrast, our UPF 50+ clothing and swimwear provides a level of UV protection that is certified and ensures safe exposure during outdoor activities.
