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.

I like the Riviera because it has a big brim.
I love the Petite Scrunchie. It’s a smaller hat but it still is good at keeping the sun off you.
I like the aqua hat because it reminds me of the Air Tahiti Nui plane’s color and my time in Bora Bora!
I like the Casual Traveler hat in blue because it fits my casual Summer style. I also like the hat material.
I would like the Bianca Visor–This would allow me to have sun protection while exercising outdoors. Perfect for running.
I am loving the Tina hat, it’s so cute! A good hat is definitely a must since I live in the south and I love being outside.
I like the Tahiti hat it’s my style and I love the turquoise.
I love the Harper. Very stylish hat! I’ve just recently started searching for a great summer hat to protect my skin from any further sun damage. This is perfect!
I want Julia in black and tan. It’s absolutely adorable.
NICE ones.
I like scrunchies so I can put in beach bag.
And, Benton, because it is so boho and reminds me of my youth too. Long time ago, LOL
I would choose the Aqua Hat in Turquoise because it’s my style and my favorite color.
I like the Tahiti Fedora hat because of it’s style and bling it has on it.
I think my favorites are the Naples and Kristy hats because of the colors and how they look on the models. But, I also like the Josie.
I think I would choose the hat named Camille in turquoise. It looks like an awesome hat to wear on hot summer days.
I think the Palm Beach men’s hat is perfect. My father in-law has a chicken farm and a big garden he’s always outside. I know he needs a new hat every couple months. What a thoughtful gift this would be.
I like the Victoria Diva hat because it has a wide brim and neutral color. My doctor told me to wear a hat to shade my fair skin.
