FAQ

What size should I get?

Size 1 (48cm) designed to fit infants 9 months - 18 months

Size 2 (52cm) designed to fit toddlers 2-5 years old

Size 3 (56cm) designed to fit youth sizes 5-10 years old

Head sizes can vary quite a bit so measuring can help ensure correct sizing.

Using a cloth measuring tape measure your child's head circumference in centimeters (cm). Alternatively, if you don't have a cloth measuring tape, you can use a string to measure- just mark where it connects around your child's head and then measure that length in centimeters.
When in doubt, size up so that they have a chance to grow into their hat!
How to wash/care?
These hats are designed to hold up for our rough and tumble kids. But that doesn't mean they don't need a touch up once in a while. 
Splash Hats: Toss into the wash just like a swimsuit and hang to dry, out of direct sunlight, in order to preserve color. Please note that coloring may transfer if wet hat comes into contact with other items.
Classic Hats: Spot clean with dishsoap and toothbrush works great! Or toss in top rack of dishwasher! Air dry works best for both cleaning options here.
What is UPF 50?

UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is a rating system used to measure the effectiveness of clothing and fabric in blocking out harmful UV rays from the sun. UPF 50 is the highest rating, meaning it blocks out 98% of UV radiation. Clothing and fabrics with a UPF rating of 50+ are considered very effective in protecting skin from the sun's harmful rays.

UPF ratings are important to consider when choosing clothing for kids, especially for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. Opting for clothing with a high UPF rating can help reduce the risk of sunburns and skin damage, and provide extra protection for delicate skin.
