these hats are effective as protection against solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) as it has an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) greater than 55. a material with a rating of UPF 50+ reduces the amount of solar UVR by more than a factor of 55 (or >99% of both UVA and UVB radiation). a UPF rating of 50+ meets the EXCELLENT UV protection rating. the UPF rating is for the measurable areas of the hat only and does not address the design of the product. that is to say a hat can only protect skin that is covered by the material.

store your hat on a flat surface so that the brim can flatten if needed.
