Winter sun protection matters more than you think
Mountain adventures and backyard snow days expose children to intense UV radiation year-round. Fresh snow acts like a mirror and bounces back nearly 80% of ultraviolet rays. Combined with a thinner atmosphere at higher elevations, winter outdoor activities can deliver stronger UV doses than summer beach days.
Our orange winter hat delivers UPF 50+ sun protection, which blocks 98% of harmful rays throughout cold-weather adventures. The generous 2.5-inch brim creates consistent shade without the hassle of reapplying frozen sunscreen.

Bright orange visibility keeps kids safer outdoors
This energetic orange shade helps parents and instructors spot kids across snowy landscapes. The vibrant hue contrasts sharply with the white winter backgrounds.
Safety experts recommend bright colors for children's winter gear since visibility drops significantly during snowstorms and twilight hours. Orange outperforms other colors in foggy or flat-light conditions common at ski resorts. Crossing guards, school staff, and other parents can easily identify your child in crowded winter venues.

Flexible, but full coverage ear protection
Flexible ear flaps let kids switch between full and partial coverage based on activity and weather. Secure the flaps beneath the chin during frigid morning walks to school or exposed chairlift rides. Flip them upward and fasten atop the crown when indoor warmth or physical activity raises body temperature.
The ingenious buckle system holds flaps firmly in either configuration. Children gain independence by adjusting coverage themselves as comfort needs shift throughout the day.

Stability for nonstop winter action
Rambunctious snow play requires equipment that stays put through tumbles and roughhousing. Our winter hat incorporates three stability features that work together.
An adjustable crown toggle accommodates growth spurts while maintaining snug positioning. The under-chin security strap prevents wind from stealing the hat during downhill runs or blustery walks. Anti-slip grip strips inside the crown band anchor the hat during vigorous movement.
Shield your kids from the elements
A durable outer shell deflects moisture and blocks piercing winds that penetrate standard knit beanies. Freezing rain and wet snow slide off the treated surface rather than saturating the material. Wind-resistant technology maintains warmth by preventing cold air infiltration through the weave.
This protective barrier allows your kids to enjoy playtime longer by keeping their heads dry and warm in challenging conditions. The compact design stuffs easily into coat pockets or backpacks for spontaneous sledding sessions after school.
Lasting UV protection
SwimZip's signature UPF 50+ rating comes from the fabric itself, not chemical treatments that fade. Repeated washing, daily wear, and extreme temperatures won't diminish protective capabilities. Endorsed with the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation, this hat delivers premium protection season after season.
