Description
The women's Salcombe reversible wide brim sun hat is certified UPF 50+, in a natural fabric blend: a breathable 55% cotton and 45% linen, independently tested to EN 13758, the European sun protective clothing standard, and blocking over 98% of UVA and UVB rays. Its wide, flexible 11 cm brim shades the face, ears and neck, well beyond the 7.5 cm dermatologists recommend, and a discreet rear opening keeps ponytails comfortable. The fully reversible design gives you two colours in one hat: turn it inside out to switch. Each order arrives with two chin straps, one to match either side of the hat. Available in three fitted sizes, it folds flat for travel and springs back into shape.

Women's Salcombe Reversible Sun Hat Size Guide
SIZE GUIDE
Find your size
Fits head circumference
- XS/S up to 55 cmup to 21⅝"
- M 55 – 57.5 cm21⅝" – 22⅝"
- L/XL 57.5 – 60 cm22⅝" – 23⅝"
Between sizes? Take the larger. The toggle can tighten the fit, so a hat can be made smaller but never bigger.
How to measure
- Wrap a soft tape measure around your head, about 1 cm above your eyebrows at the front.
- Bring it just above your ears and around the bump at the back of your head.
- Keep the tape level and snug, not tight. Wear your hair as you would with the hat.
- Read the measurement where the tape meets. That is your head circumference.
No tape measure? Use a piece of string, mark where it meets, then measure the string against a ruler.
Certified UPF 50+ fabric, across an 11 cm brim
A sun hat protects you twice over: the fabric has to stop UV reaching your skin, and the brim has to put enough of you in shade. Plenty of hats manage one. The Salcombe is built to do both.
Woven from cotton and linen
A 55% cotton, 45% linen weave that holds its UPF 50+ rating while still letting air move through it, so the hat stays cool in the heat you bought it for.
Turn it inside out to switch colour
Both sides are made to be worn on the outside, so neither is a lining. Each colour has its own chin strap, so one hat covers a variety of different styles.
Fabric loops are on the inside and out, so the chin straps can clip on whichever way round you wear it.
Folds flat. Springs back into shape.
A flexible wire runs through the brim, so it packs into a case without a hat box and recovers its shape on arrival. Bend the brim down against low sun, or up off your face, and it stays where you put it.
A flexible wire brim: pack it flat, then shape it how you like.

What customers ask us
Which size should I choose if I'm between two?
Take the larger. The internal toggle draws the fit in, so the hat can be made smaller but never bigger. XS/S fits heads up to 55 cm, M fits 55 to 57.5 cm and L/XL fits 57.5 to 60 cm, measured just above the ears.
How do I switch colour?
Turn it inside out. Both sides are made to be worn on the outside, Oatmeal on one and Desert Sand on the other, so neither side is a lining.
How do the chin straps attach?
Each order comes with two clip-on chin straps, one to match each side. There are fabric loops on the inside and the outside of the hat, so a strap can be clipped on or taken off whichever side you are wearing out.
Is there room for a ponytail?
Yes. A discreet opening at the back takes a ponytail without lifting the hat off your head, in every size.
Can I pack the Salcombe hat in a suitcase?
Yes. It folds flat for travel and springs back into shape, so it packs into a case without a hat box. The flexible wire in the brim then holds whatever shape you set.
How do I wash the Salcombe hat?
Hand wash it in cool soapy water and dry it in the shade. Do not tumble dry, bleach or dry clean it.
“equatorsun began after my mum, Annette, was diagnosed with melanoma in 2004. We lost her in 2009, and the family has carried on her mission since. For nearly twenty years we have chosen and sold other people’s sun protection. The Salcombe is the first hat we have designed ourselves, made with a London fashion designer and built around everything we learned in that time.”George, equatorsun
