Tag Archives: Protective Hat

As parents we worry a lot about our kids.   We know some sun is good for Vitamin D, too much is bad and increases our risk of skin cancer.  Sunscreens can protect our kids, but there is much conflict on that topic as well.  The best way to protect our children and ourselves is through the use of protective clothing.

Recently I was sent a kids’ play hat from SUNDAY Afternoons to review.  This hat is constructed of UPF 50+ certified breathable sun fabric.  I really like the length of the hat in the back and that it protects the neck, and the external sizing band makes it easy to ensure a snug fit.  I received the youth size which is for 5+ years but with this band it was a great fit on Ethan who recently turned 4.

As a mom I feel good when we are out and about and my children have a protective hat covering their head.  This hat protects the tops of their ears and their face from burning sun.  This hat will be a summer staple for years to come thanks to the sizing band.
