When summer comes, a good sun hat is essential for children playing outside in the sun. A sun hat protects the head, face and neck from the sun's rays and helps prevent sunburn. At the same time, it can be a fun and colourful accessory that perfectly completes the summer outfit. In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to look for when choosing a sun hat for children, as well as inspiration for different types and brands.

The article presents a selection of sun hats in various styles, colours and price ranges. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of materials, functions and designs so that you can more easily find the sun hat that best suits your child. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to provide a clear and informative picture of the options.

Factors to consider when buying a sun hat

When choosing a sun hat for your child, several factors play a role – both practical and aesthetic.

1. Sun protection and shade

A good sun hat should provide effective protection against UV rays. Many models feature integrated UV50+ protection, which reduces the risk of sunburn. Choose a hat with a wide brim all around or with additional neck protection for optimal coverage.

2. Material and breathability

Lightweight and breathable materials such as cotton, linen or polyester with moisture-wicking properties are ideal on warm days. This prevents your child from getting too hot, and the hat dries quickly after playing in water or sweating.

3. Fit and comfort

A sun hat should fit well without being tight. Many models have adjustable cords or elastic bands to keep the hat in place even in windy conditions. For the youngest children, a chin strap can be practical to prevent the hat from falling off.

4. Design and colours

Sun hats come in everything from subtle pastel shades to colourful patterns with animals and flowers. Choose a design that matches your child’s personality – this increases the likelihood that the hat will actually be worn.

5. Care

Check the care label before buying. A machine-washable sun hat is practical, especially if it’s used daily during the summer months. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, so it may be beneficial to choose quick-drying fabrics.

Different types of sun hats

Sun hats come in many shapes and materials, each with its own advantages – depending on age, activity level and weather conditions.

1. Bucket hats

The classic bucket hat is popular with both younger and older children. It provides good all-round shade and sits comfortably on the head. Bucket hats are often made of cotton or canvas and can be easily stored in a bag.

2. Legionnaire hats

The legionnaire hat has an extended neck flap that protects from the sun from behind. It is particularly suitable for small children and for the beach, where the sun often shines from several directions.

3. Caps with neck protection

A combination of cap and sun hat, where the visor protects the face and a fabric flap covers the neck. This type is practical for active children who play a lot outdoors.

4. Straw hats

Straw hats give a classic summer look and are ideal for warm days with a light breeze. However, they are less suitable for rough play, as they can lose their shape when wet or squashed.

5. Sun hats with cords and UV protection

Many modern sun hats combine functionality and safety with adjustable cords, quick-drying fabrics and high UV protection. They are ideal for beach days, holidays and outings.

Different brands of sun hats

The market for children’s sun hats offers many well-known brands, each with its own focus on design, function and quality.

Liewood

Liewood is known for its minimalist designs and sustainable materials. Their sun hats are often made from organic cotton and come in subtle colours that match the rest of their collections.

Molo

Molo offers colourful and playful sun hats with prints that appeal to children. Their models combine high UV protection with comfortable fits.

Konges Sløjd

Konges Sløjd focuses on classic Scandinavian aesthetics and natural materials. The sun hats are soft, lightweight and often decorated with small, delicate patterns.

Reima

Reima specialises in functional children’s clothing and produces sun hats with a focus on sun protection and durability. Perfect for active children who spend a lot of time outdoors.

Hummel

Hummel combines sporty design with practical details such as adjustable cords and quick-drying materials. Their sun hats are ideal for children who are always on the move.

Frequently asked questions

Why should children wear a sun hat?

Children’s skin is more sensitive than that of adults, and a sun hat protects the head, face and neck from harmful UV rays. This reduces the risk of sunburn and overheating.

Which sun hat offers the best protection?

A hat with a wide brim and UV50+ protection provides the most effective coverage. Legionnaire hats and models with neck protection are particularly good at shielding from the sun from behind.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your child’s head circumference and compare it with the manufacturer’s size chart. A sun hat should fit snugly without being tight, and adjustable cords can help fine-tune the fit.

Can sun hats be machine washed?

Most sun hats made of cotton and polyester can be washed at a low temperature. Straw hats and hats with a firm brim should, however, be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth.

How many sun hats should you have?

It can be practical to have at least two – one for everyday use and an extra one for the beach or holidays. That way, you’ll always have a dry and clean hat ready.
