It’s time for fun in the sun and I am grabbing my Wallaroo UPF 50 best Sun Protection Hats. Wallaroo sent along a few different styles for me to enjoy and feature for you! Which is your fav?
Wallaroo! UPF 50 Best Sun Protection Hats
Wallaroo is a 19 year old hat company that I just LOVE! One of my earliest blog posts, all the way back in 2010, was for Wallaroo’s winter hats. That was almost 9 years ago and I am still a megafan. I then worked with them again in Fall of 2015, where I shared that Wallaroo is really “Fashion for your skin“.
Although, a nice Wallaroo hat helps your skin out for the summer months, you really need the all-around the year protection of Wallaroo UPF 50 best Sun Protection Hats.
Wallaroo Hats have the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Approval
To earn the Seal of Recommendation, a manufacturer must provide scientific data showing that its product sufficiently and safely, “aids in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin.”
The criteria to earn The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation includes:
- An ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 30 or higher
- Acceptable test results according to the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists method or AS/NZS Standard
- For hats, in addition to the fabric requirements specified above, a minimum brim width of 3 inches
Understanding UPF versus SPF
UPF is for clothing, fabrics and hats. SPF is for cream and cosmetics. UPF measures the amount of UV radiation that penetrates a fabric and reaches the skin. SPF stands for “Sun Protection Factor” and is the rating for sunscreens and other sun-protective products. It measures the amount of time it takes for sun-exposed skin to redden. Many Wallaroo hats have a UPF 50 rating and you can easily find many styles on their website.
My Favorite Features of Wallaroo UPF 50 Best Sun Protection Hats
It goes without saying that with my pale skin, the UPF 50 rating on my favorite Wallaroos is the number one feature I love! The second feature that can’t be beat, is that the Wallaroo hats I choose are also rollable, packable, and crush resistant! Can you say TRAVEL?? My third favorite feature is that many Wallaroo hats come with chin straps or chin ties. There is nothing as frustrating as being on vacation and constantly having to hold on to your hat while you are sightseeing. Also, when you are working outside, the last thing you need to be doing is losing your hat in the wind.

Hats by Madame Paulette Book
i like the “Explorer” for the camping
I think I’d like the Tori and the Victoria hats because they are cute and unlike hats I currently own.
i like the Gigi because i like its style
I love the Scrunchie hat. The brim looks to be wide for good sun coverage which is what I prefer.
I love the Taylor in beige because it’s the style that suits me best.
I like the Sydney.
Love the Tahiti Cowboy with the turquoise beading – so stylish
I like the St. Tropez a lot- I like the ‘big brim’ look and think it’s flattering…
I am liking this one Catriona Fedora
I really like the women’s Breton in chocolate color the most.
I like the Casual Traveler because that’s me in a nutshell.
I would love to have the Scrunchie in navy/white dot — super cute! It’s perfect for travel — can be rolled up and put in your suitcase. Also, like that, it’s washable and has an inner drawstring for a perfect fit.
I like the Casual Traveler , goes with every outfit.
This Okie will take the Sierra. It’s the closest I see to a cowboy hat.
I would love to have the JULIA hat! Super classy and so cute! This would be a summer staple for me!
I like the Bianca. It looks like one I would wear.
I think that I would get the Seaside or Piper. Either of these would be great to use when I’m working in my garden and the chin strap would help keep it in place.
The Harper hat is really pretty. I like the white hat with the black accent.
My favorite would be the Julia. It’s very cute & definately my style.
I’d love to try the Julia because it’s just so feminine and adorable! I haven’t seen anything like it!
