Caps only protect the top of your head.

Think about where you burn.

Sunscreen on skin isn't for everyone.

Sensitive skin, eczema, or just personal preference. The sticky, greasy feeling for hours. Some people hate it. Physical coverage means no cream required. Plus you need to re-apply. But mid-hike, mid-ride, mid-session — you forget, you skip it, you miss spots. By the end of the day, you've burnt.

Your ears and neck burn just as fast.

Baseball caps leave them completely exposed. These areas burn quickly and are hard to protect with sunscreen. You miss spots, it runs, it wears off.

Sunscreen doesn't reach your scalp.

Hair isn't protection. Especially thin hair, receding hairlines, or bald patches. The scalp burns easily and painfully. A hat solves it instantly.

Why we built this

Your head burns fastest. Cover it properly.

Your scalp, face, ears, and neck burn fastest. A cap doesn't protect them all. This hat does. Wide brim provides coverage all around. Meets strict EU and Australian standards for sun hat design. Lightweight, rollable, quick-drying.

What this means for you

Shade for your whole head.

Wide brim shades your face, ears and neck simultaneously. That's why a wide brim hat is one of very few hat styles that are approved by Australian standards to be officially sold as a 'sun hat'. This hat has been tested and passed according to Australian standards.

What this means for you

Lightweight and rollable for travel.

Roll it up, pack it in any bag. It springs back into shape when you unroll it. No special storage needed.

What this means for you

Adjustable fit with chin strap.

Adjustable elastic cord and chin strap with lock. Stays put in wind. Fits most head sizes.

PROTECTION IS BUILT IN.

Protection is built in. Our UPF 50+ fabrics block 98% of UV through structure, not chemicals. The weave does the work—so protection doesn't wash out, wear off, or fade over time.

WHAT'S IN IT AND WHY

UPF 50+ Fabric — Tested to block 98% of UV.
Wide Brim — Meets EU and Australian standards for sun hat dimensions.
Ventilation Grommets — Airflow keeps you cool.
Moisture-Wicking Headband — Absorbs sweat.

OTHER USEFUL INFO

AS FEATURED IN

COMMON QUESTIONS

What do you mean by a UPF sun hat?

A UV sun hat is a hat designed to protect the wearer from harmful UV rays from the sun.

UPF refers to the Ultraviolet Protection Factor which is a UV rating system that’s used for fabrics, similar to SPF for cosmetics. It indicates how much UV radiation can penetrate the fabric of the hat.

A UPF 50+ hat blocks 98% of the sun's rays, offering very high sun protection.

You can read more about it here.

What makes a good UPF 50+ sun hat?

A good UPF 50+ hat should have a wide brim all the way around the hat and provide very small breath holes. These specific rules and dimensions are prescribed by regulators and testing standards.

The fabric must be made of high-quality materials that block UV rays and be comfortable to wear.

Finally, in our opinion, we believe that the UV protection should not be added to the fabric as a chemical treatment because it will wash off and degrade over time. None of our UPF fabrics are chemically treated meaning that they will provide UPF 50+ protection indefinitely.

When will I get my order?

We try to get every order out the same day up until 4pm during the week. From then, please allow 2-3 business days for your order to arrive.

Why should I choose a UV protection hat and when should I wear it?

A UV protection hat helps shield your skin from harmful UV rays, reducing your risk of sunburn, heat stroke and skin damage.

You should wear your UV protection hat whenever you're outdoors during daylight hours, even on cloudy days as UV rays can penetrate clouds.

Who will be delivering my order and is there tracking?

We use a tracked service for nearly all of our deliveries. You will get an email from us when your order has been despatched which will include the tracking details.

How does your hat sizing compare to other brands?

We would say our sizing comes up oversized to fit all heads. It is one size fits all but we made sure the elastic cord can adjust and hold so you achieve the fit you want no matter your head circumference.

Can I return the product if I don't like it?

We’re happy to exchange or refund any clothing you're not 100% happy with. Just make sure it’s unworn and in perfect condition. To start a return, head to Returns and exchange and follow the instructions.

Where do you ship?

We ship to the UK and Channel Islands using a Royal Mail tracked service.

Built from personal experience.

When several close friends, including Jono, were diagnosed with cancer in their thirties, it changed everything. LifeJacket was born to make everyday skin protection simple, reliable and part of normal life.

Very good hat
Have not used too much yet as purchased for holiday in August. Nevertheless the quality appears very good, good size brim and fits very well . Adjustable head band provides good fit. Chin strap very useful to avoid losing hat in windy conditions, and stores out of the way if not in use.
