Winter sun protection matters more than you think
Snow reflects up to 80% of the sun's UV rays, which can double your child's exposure during winter activities. The higher altitude of ski slopes and mountains intensifies UV radiation by about 4% for every 1,000 feet of elevation. Winter sun also sits at a lower angle, so it can hit faces directly during peak outdoor play hours.
This pale pink winter sun hat provides UPF 50+ protection that blocks 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. Unlike sunscreen that's difficult to apply in cold weather and needs reapplication, this hat's 2.5-inch brim shields your child's face and eyes from harsh winter sun all day.

Convertible ear flaps adapt to changing activities
The convertible design transforms from full-ear coverage to an open-ear configuration in seconds. Buckle the ear flaps under the chin for maximum warmth during sledding and snowman building. Snap them up on top of the hat when kids warm up from running around or head indoors.
Kids can self-regulate their temperature as needed. The ear flaps stay secure whether worn up or down, thanks to the dual buckle system.

Stay-put design for active winter play
Active kids need gear that keeps up with their energy. This winter hat features multiple adjustment points so it stays in place during vigorous play.
The adjustable toggle strap at the crown creates a custom fit that won't slip during activities. Growing kids can wear the same hat longer thanks to this expandable sizing system. The chin strap buckle keeps the hat secure during windy conditions, ski runs, or rough play. No more chasing blown-off hats across frozen playgrounds or ski slopes.
Soft fleece lining eliminates the itchy, uncomfortable feeling of pure wool winter hats while staying just as toasty. Your kids will want to keep this hat on because it feels cozy against their skin. The lightweight design might even make your child forget they’re wearing it.
Wind and water protection for harsh conditions
The outer shell of our winter hats repels wind and water, which keeps kids comfortable in winter weather. Light snow and sleet bead up and roll off the water-resistant fabric instead of soaking through. The windproof construction blocks cold gusts that would otherwise penetrate knit or fleece-only hats. Superior weather protection helps kids stay warmer and drier longer while they're building snow forts or hiking winter trails.
The packable design fits in backpacks for school recess or spontaneous snowball fights. This lightweight hat compresses small while maintaining its shape and protective properties.
Professional-grade sun protection that lasts
Our UPF 50+ fabric provides permanent sun protection that won't deteriorate over time. Daily wear and exposure to winter elements won't reduce the UV-blocking capabilities. With a Seal of Recommendation by the Skin Cancer Foundation, this hat protects as well on day 500 as it does on day one.
