Most of our hats are not only easy to keep in shape but also carry the UPF50+ swing tag. This means that the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) endorses them as providing excellent sun protection. These hats offer important protection against the harmful rays of the sun while outdoors on holiday. Look for the features of each hat on the tag. We also include the recommended care instructions.
