Protect your skin with our UV-protective beach sun hats. Elegant, lightweight and well covering, they are made for sunny days by the water. The ideal accessory for enjoying the beach with style and peace of mind.
The beach hat that offers the best sun protection is a wide-brim sun hat with UPF 50+ certification. This combination effectively filters out a high percentage of UVA and UVB rays while casting shade over the most exposed areas, such as the face, neck, ears and sometimes the décolletage.
A simple straw hat or a standard hat can provide shade, but it won't always guarantee sufficient protection if its fabric lets UV rays through. And at the beach, protection matters all the more because sand and water reflect a significant amount of UV rays. Even when you wear a quality sun hat with UV protection, it remains essential to protect your face and any uncovered areas of skin by applying an SPF 50+ sun cream.
For the best possible protection, choose a wide-brimmed sun hat that is lightweight, breathable and comfortable to wear in hot weather. At Ker Sun, our beach hats are designed with UPF 50+ certified materials to help you enjoy the sun with greater peace of mind.
Is a beach hat comfortable to wear for long periods?
Yes, Ker Sun UV beach hats are designed to be worn comfortably for several hours outdoors. Their light weight, covering shape and adjustment system protect the face effectively from the sun without any feeling of discomfort.
Our hats also prioritise comfort in hot weather thanks to lightweight, breathable materials that are pleasant to wear. Easy to carry, they slip neatly into a beach bag or a suitcase to go with you everywhere during your holidays, your walks or your days by the water.
Do all beach hats block UV rays?
No, not all beach hats offer effective protection against UV rays.
A wide brim provides shade for the face, but that doesn't necessarily mean the hat blocks UV. Many standard beach hats are made from materials whose weave or thickness lets some UVA and UVB rays through. So even under a hat, your skin can remain exposed to the harmful effects of the sun.
At Ker Sun, our selection of UV beach hats is designed to combine protection, comfort and elegance. The models are made from UPF 50+ certified materials, the highest certification for textile UV protection. Thanks to their wide, covering brims and filtering fabrics, they offer reliable sun protection during your days at the beach, while remaining light and pleasant to wear in hot weather.
How do I choose the right size for a UV beach hat?
Head circumference is the most important measurement to consider when choosing your hat size. To measure it, place a tape measure around the widest part of your head, just above the ears, without pulling too tight. Then compare this measurement with the size guide shown on the hat's page.
For a day at the beach, the hat should be snug enough to stay firmly in place, but not so tight that it becomes uncomfortable. We offer many models with an adjustment system (located inside or outside the hat) that lets you easily adapt the fit to your head circumference and stops the hat blowing off in the wind.
If you're unsure between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one. If the hat you want has a built-in adjustment system, you'll be able to adapt it easily to your head circumference while enjoying excellent comfort, particularly if you wear it for long hours outdoors.
