Sunburns and sun damage happen wherever UV rays can go, so guard your skin in style with our sun hats.

The Skin Cancer Foundation provides a secondary approval for sun protective hats. Hats must have a minimum of 3" wide brim to receive the approval.

UPF50, UPF50+ rated hats provide excellent sun protection, blocking 97.5% or more UV rays.

A PACKABLE HAT IS YOUR BEST TRAVEL COMPANION

THE BEST TRAVEL HATS ARE:

PACKABLE, CRUSHABLE, ROLLABLE, FOLDABLE HATS

The perfect accessory for any stylish traveler is a hat. Our How to Pack Hats guide will help you pack your hat with ease, and ensure they stay in good condition during your journeys.

Packable is a catch all for all the ways you can pack a hat. Crushable means the hat will bounce back to its shape after being crushed. Rollable hats are rolled into a cone shape. Foldable hats unfold without creasing.

All fabric hats - cotton, polyester - are easiest to pack. Pack flat in a suitcase, roll into cone for backpack or bag. Fabric hats with mesh crown can be packed flat in a suitcase, or the crown can be stuffed with small items.

Many of our paper-straw hats are packable. Round crown paper-straw hats can be folded in half and rolled into a cone. Packable paper-straw safari and fedora hats can be folded as a taco; fold brim up, a t-shirt can be place inside the crown to prevent the crown to crease.

When travelling with more than one hat, the best way is to stuff the crown of the smallest hat and stack the other hats on top. Place them on the bottom of the suitcase and pack around them.

Some natural straw hats can be rolled into a cone.
