Hats with sun protection
Hats with sun protection
Sun protection using textiles has become a fundamental tool for skin health, surpassing traditional sunscreens in effectiveness. Certified hats offer a physical barrier against UVA and UVB radiation.
Test 2026AN1519 certifies that various palm straw hats offer sun protection level 50+.
At Sombreros Mengual, we know that a good hat is not just a style accessory, it's also your first natural barrier against the sun. That's why, in this category, we've gathered our models made with natural palm straw , a fiber that, thanks to its dense weave, acts as a physical filter against ultraviolet radiation and offers a UPF 50+ sun protection factor, the highest level of sun protection available in textiles.
What does this mean in practice? It means the hat blocks more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays, effectively reducing the risk of sunburn, sunspots, and skin damage on the face, neck, and ears—the most exposed and sensitive areas. Unlike sunscreen, this protection doesn't degrade with sweat and doesn't need to be reapplied throughout the day.
You'll find a variety of styles, including Indiana, Cowboy, Telescope, Pork Pie, Tyrolean , and visor hats, all with brims that provide extra shade for your face and neck—ideal for the beach, countryside, golf, hiking, or any outdoor activity. These breathable, lightweight, and durable hats are perfect for wearing throughout spring and summer.
