Coolibar UPF 50+ Women's Shannon Wide Brim Beach Hat

The Shannon Wide Brim Beach Hat is a technically elegant solution to provide complete protection for your face and neck. The 5 1/2 inch UPF 50+ brim turns slightly downward to shield your face and extend completely over the sun-sensitive back of the neck. The brim and crown feature a grosgrain novel weave broken up by a black ribbon and paper braid feature.

The fabric composition is 75% Paper and 25% Polyester, and the care instructions are hand wash only. The hat is imported.

Regarding the technical features, the fabric is tested to provide UPF 50+ protection, blocking 98% of UVA/UVB rays. The testing goes beyond the initial fabric assessment and includes real-life usage, evaluating UV protection before and after laundering, as well as exposure to sunlight and chlorinated water, utilizing industry standards to ensure true UPF 50+ protection.

The design team at Coolibar analyzes each fabric for UPF and UVA/UVB ratings, testing it in at least 10 spots and at least 3 times (more for stripes, multicolor patterns, or prints) to verify the true UPF 50+ protection. The technical designers engineer Coolibar's UPF 50+ apparel and accessories through 2D/3D pattern drafting, considering fit, silhouette, comfort, and movement for specific outdoor activities.

The team of users and super-users test every new product in the real world to ensure that every detail performs as designed, feels great on the body, and provides protection from 98% of UVA/UVB rays from sunrise to sunset.

Coolibar's mission is to keep the world safe from sun damage, protect those who suffer from a sun-related medical condition, and prevent everyone else from developing one. They are the first sun protective clothing company to receive The Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation.

The Shannon Wide Brim Beach Hat is recommended for everyday leisure and relaxing by the pool, lake, or ocean, providing stylish full face and neck coverage. It is not recommended for swimming, as it is not chlorine and saltwater resistant or water repellent.

The approximate circumference of the hat is 22 1/2 inches, and it has a 5 1/2 inch brim. The hat can be spot cleaned and gently wiped with a clean cloth.
