Take your sun protection anywhere with our soft, foldable women's sun hats. Lightweight, covering and easy to slip into a bag or suitcase, they effectively protect your head and skin with UPF 50+ protection (the highest certification). Practical and elegant essentials for outings, travel and sunny days.
Does a foldable UV hat protect as well as a standard hat?
Yes, a foldable hat protects against the sun just as well as a standard hat, provided it is made with a UPF 50+ certified anti-UV fabric and with sufficiently covering brims. How well it protects against UV rays depends above all on the material it is made from, the width of its brims and the areas it covers, not on whether or not it folds.
Can you fold a UV hat without damaging it or losing its shape?
Yes, if the model is designed for it. At Ker Sun, our soft, foldable UV hats are made to slip easily into a bag, a suitcase or a beach tote. After carrying it, you usually just need to reshape the brims by hand. To preserve their shape, however, we recommend avoiding compressing them for too long, or folding a model that isn't indicated as foldable.
Which foldable hat should I choose to protect the face, neck and ears?
To protect the face, nape and ears effectively, we recommend a UPF 50+ foldable UV hat with wide, covering brims. At Ker Sun, we design models that combine protection, comfort and practicality. Do bear in mind, however, that water and sand reflect a significant amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is why it remains essential to apply sun cream regularly to areas of skin not directly protected by a hat or clothing, such as the face, neck and décolletage.
A cord or an adjustment system is also useful for keeping the hat firmly in place by the sea, on a walk or while travelling.
Is a soft hat comfortable and lightweight in hot weather?
Yes, our soft UV hats are designed to stay pleasant to wear in hot weather. Their light weight limits any feeling of discomfort, while their UPF 50+ fabric protects the covered areas from the sun. Their softness makes them easy to wear day to day, when travelling or at the beach. For the best comfort, choose a suitable size and adjust the fit without pulling too tight.
Are there stylish foldable UV hats for the city, the beach or travelling?
Yes, this is in fact one of the strengths of our Ker Sun selection. Our soft, foldable UV hats combine UPF 50+ certified protection with shapes that are easy to wear day to day. Their compact format means you can take them travelling, to the beach or around town, all while keeping an elegant look. They are designed for those who want reliable sun protection without giving up on style.
