Kids Sun Hat

Description

The Patagonia Kids Sun Hat is built around the understanding that children spend more time in direct sun than most adults and have skin that is significantly more vulnerable to UV damage. The recycled nylon shell achieves a UPF 50+ rating, the highest standard classification available, and the chin drawstring prevents the hat from blowing off during running, cycling, or any of the vigorous outdoor activities that fill a child’s summer day. Patagonia’s Fair Trade Certified manufacturing ensures every hat is produced under verified ethical working conditions, which matters increasingly to parents who think carefully about the provenance of the products they buy for their children. The hat is available in sizes calibrated for ages 2 to 4 and 5 to 10 years.

Key Features

Patagonia has designed the Kids Sun Hat with the specific reality of children’s use in mind. It needs to survive being stuffed into a bag, sat on, dropped in the water, and pulled off repeatedly without losing its shape or protection rating. The recycled nylon achieves all of this while reducing the environmental footprint of production. The moisture-wicking sweatband is a practical detail that makes a real difference during active use, keeping sweat away from the eyes and reducing the temptation to remove the hat during energetic outdoor play. The toggle adjustment allows the chin cord to be tightened or loosened in seconds without removing the hat.
