Kids’ Arctic Chill Convertible Winter Sun Hat | Aqua Blue

Winter sun protection you shouldn’t skip

Most parents pack sunscreen for beach days but forget that winter UV protection is just as important. UV rays intensify at higher altitudes where winter sports happen, and snow reflects up to 80% of those rays directly back at your child's face. This kids’ winter sun hat combines UPF 50+ sun protection with cozy fleece, blocking 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays during every cold-weather adventure.

The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation guarantees this fleece-lined sun hat meets dermatologist-approved safety standards. Unlike sunscreen that can freeze or wear off, UPF-rated fabric protection works at every temperature or activity level.

Convertible design for active winter sports

The Arctic Chill convertible design adapts as conditions and activities change. Fleece-lined ear flaps can be worn down for maximum warmth or buckled up when kids heat up from activity. This packable kids' sun hat fits easily under ski and snowboard helmets for customizable warmth during all your kids’ winter sports activities.

Superior materials and year-round protection

This waterproof winter hat features a wind and water-repellent outer shell with soft fleece lining throughout. The combination keeps kids dry during wet snow conditions while maintaining breathability for active play.

UPF 50+ fabric technology provides consistent protection that never washes out or diminishes. Whether temperatures drop below freezing or rise during the spring thaw, the protective layer built into the fabric delivers reliable coverage. This sun protection winter hat works effectively from winter skiing to cool summer mornings when UV rays are strong but the air is crisp.

Style meets high-visibility safety with Aqua

This vibrant aqua winter hat serves dual purposes. High-visibility colors help parents quickly spot kids on busy ski slopes, crowded sledding hills, and snowy playgrounds. This bright winter safety feature is borrowed from our high-visibility swimwear, but visibility is important no matter the season.

Aqua color coordination ideas:

• Match with color-pop swimwear for year-round family coordination
• Complement with boys’ and girls' aqua accessories
• Create family matching winter outfits with adult sun-protective hats

This aqua shade pops against white snow while maintaining excellent visibility in changing lighting conditions. Keep your kid in blue all year by shopping our aqua collection.

Complete winter sun safety approach

Winter UV protection combines headwear with other sun safety habits. Snow glare protection requires multiple strategies since UV reflection increases total exposure.

Enhance your child's winter sun protection:

• Pair with polarized kids' sunglasses and neck gaiter for complete eye and face protection
• Layer with UPF 50+ rash guards under winter coats
• Check daily UV index levels even during cold weather
• Apply comprehensive sun protection strategies year-round
