What Brim Width Should I Choose For Real Sun Coverage?
Dermatology and cancer-prevention groups recommend a wide brim of at least 2–3 inches that goes all the way around to shade the face, ears, and neck.
All Sol A Mer hats are 4-1/2" or wider (Our Genoa style is our widest brim at 5-1/2")
UPF vs. SPF—What Does “UPF 50” Actually Mean?
UPF is for fabric.
UPF 50 blocks about 98% of UV (UVA + UVB)—only ~1/50th gets through.
SPF is for sunscreen on skin. Best practice: wear a UPF 50 wide-brim hat and use broad-spectrum SPF on any exposed skin.
Are “Packable” Hats Truly Packable—How Do I Pack This Hat?
Yes! For travel, place it flat in your suitcase (or stuff the crown with soft items like tees/socks) so the brim stays supported. Let it relax after arrival; our high quality packable brims spring back.
