How to choose your perfect UPF 50+ sun hat
When it comes to sun protection, the right hat does more than just complete your outfit, it helps to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
At Solbari, we believe that style and comfort should never come at the expense of sun safety. Every Solbari sun hat is crafted with UPF 50+ fabric, blocking at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays. Our hats are built for all day wear and maximum protection. They are designed in Australia and tested under some of the world’s harshest UV conditions in a government approved laboratory. All Solbari hats are certified UPF 50+ following rigorous testing to internationally recognised scientific testing standards.
Here’s how to find the one that’s right for you.
1. Choose your coverage
While all Solbari fabrics block at least 98% of UVA & UVB rays and are certified UPF 50+, not all brim lengths offer the same level of protection so it’s important to choose a style that matches your sun exposure needs.
- Wide brim: Full face, neck and ear coverage.
- Legionnaire-style: Added neck flap for high-exposure days
- Bucket hat/visor: Great for casual, everyday wear
2. Match your lifestyle
Solbari hats move with you wherever the day takes you. Whether you're travelling, getting active, enjoying the pool, or braving unpredictable weather, there’s a Solbari hat built for your lifestyle:
- Everyday wear: Stylish, comfortable, perfect for all occasions
- Travel friendly: Lightweight, foldable styles for easy packing
- On the move: Breathable, sweat-wicking and adjustable
- Swim ready: Quick drying, salt water and chlorine resistant
- All weather: Water-resistant with secure fastenings
Each hat is thoughtfully designed to combine function with comfort, so you can stay protected without compromising on performance.
3. Find your fit
A well-fitting hat isn’t just more comfortable, it also offers better protection on windy days or during physical activity. Solbari offers hats in multiple sizes and most styles include adjustable features to ensure a customisable fit.
- Measure your head circumference and compare it to the size charts listed on each of our online product pages to choose the correct size
- Look for adjustable chin straps and elasticated toggles for tightening
