FAQs

What is UPF 50+?

UPF 50+ means the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of UV rays. It is a key indicator of sun protective clothing.

How should I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for head circumference measurements. The hat should fit snugly but comfortably, without being too tight.

Can this hat be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash the swim hat gently in cold water to preserve its fabric and protective qualities. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

Does this hat protect my child's eyes?

The padded brim is designed to provide shade for the face, including around the eyes. However, for complete eye protection, sunglasses are also recommended.

What does 'seersucker' material mean?

Seersucker is a lightweight, puckered fabric known for its breathability and comfort, especially in warm weather. It typically requires little to no ironing.

Is the protection effective even when the hat is wet?

The protection offered by the hat may be reduced when wet, stretched, or with use. It's important to use this hat in combination with sunscreen.

What does 'EN 13758-2' refer to?

This is a European standard for evaluating the UPF of textiles, indicating that the hat has been tested and meets specific requirements for sun protection.

Troubleshooting

Hat feels too loose

Ensure the hat is the correct size. If slightly loose, consider if the fabric has stretched. Hand washing and air drying might help regain some snugness. For significant looseness, a smaller size may be required.

Sun protection seems reduced

Check if the hat is wet or stretched, as this can reduce UPF effectiveness. Ensure the hat is worn correctly and covers the intended areas. Always supplement with sunscreen on exposed skin.

Material feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild soap and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid harsh detergents. Air drying in shade should prevent stiffness.
