UPF Hats for Women — Protecting your face and hair from the sun
What is UPF?
According to SkinCancer.org:
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It indicates what fraction of the sun’s ultraviolet rays can penetrate the fabric. A shirt with a UPF of 50, for example, allows just 1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation to reach the skin.
SPF is a more common term to measure sun protection, however, SPF is used in conjunction with sunscreens and other sun-protective products. While UPF measures the amount of sun that penetrates fabric, SPF measures the amount of time it takes sun exposed skin to start to burn.

Wallaroo hats are the first UPF hats I ever wore. Wow, was I spoiled from there on. Most Wallaroo hats have a UPF on of 50+ AND almost are are crushable and packable, plus there are a plethora of styles for your every outfit need. Can’t recommend this brand enough! See our other Wallaroo articles here and here.

Thanks for the contest.
Actually , several of them are very appealing and I put a few in my “shopping cart” to think about… The ponytail ones caught my eye first, as I often wear my uniform “baseball” type cap with a ponytail: https://www.amazon.com/Siggi-Summer-Cotton-Cover-Women/dp/B01D5W4FMI/ and the big-brimmed ponytail visor: https://www.amazon.com/HindaWi-Women-Protection-Summer-Packable/dp/B07BFSYVLW/ref=sr_1_42?keywords=upf+hats+for+women+ponytail&qid=1554266009&s=gateway&sr=8-42The ones I think are the most flattering are the big, floppy brimmed straw hats- and the ones that are rollable, & packable are very appealing- like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lanzom-Womens-Bowknot-Straw-Foldable/dp/B06XXXQXLN/ IMHO, the over-the- top ones with the face veils are just, plain weird. I know wearing a face mask is all the rage in Asia, and has been for years- I got a Hello Kitty one in Vietnam for a laugh when I was motorcycle-riding- but they put me off… LOL
Let me know if you decide to pull the trigger on those dresses. I would love to see them too Elisse. Shelley
