Women's Sun Hats

No, not all hats protect effectively against UV rays.

Many regular hats block only part of the UV rays because the materials used are not specifically chosen to block UV radiation. This means that some UVA and UVB rays can still pass through the hat and damage the skin.

At Ker Sun, all our sun hat with UV protections are made from fabrics and other materials certified UPF 50+ (the highest certification in Europe), capable of filtering UV rays effectively. They therefore provide reliable and long-lasting sun protection, while remaining lightweight, breathable and comfortable even in hot weather.

We first recommend that you choose a sun hat with UV protection certified UPF 50+, the highest UV-protection certification in Europe. This will guarantee a high level of sun protection thanks to materials capable of filtering UV rays effectively and durably.

To provide the best possible UV protection for your head, you should also choose a sun hat with UV protection with a wide brim (at least 8–10 cm). In addition to protecting the top of your head and upper face effectively from UV rays, your hat can also protect your neck, nape and ears from the sun. However, because UV rays can reflect off the ground and light-coloured surfaces such as water or sand, remember to always apply sunscreen to your face and neck, even when wearing your sun hat with UV protection. Also remember to protect your eyes by wearing category 2 or 3 sunglasses.

Finally, we advise you to choose a sun hat with UV protection model that is suited to your activities.
