Sun Protection Is a Year-Round Vibe

Summer has officially left the building, and fall is here in full force. While you might miss the summer temps and longer days, you’ve got to admit that fall is pretty great. The air is crisp, the days are sunny, and the trees are gorgeous. Plus, there’s so much to do – from hiking to boating and everything in between. Regardless of what you’re up to, remember that just because it’s cooler doesn’t mean the sun’s UV rays are any less damaging. We still need to protect ourselves with sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, and a Wallaroo sun protection hat. But don’t worry, whatever is on your fall agenda, there’s a Wallaroo hat to keep you covered.)

Fall Means Sports - Let’s Keep Our Head in the Game(s)

Whether you’ve got season tickets to your alma mater's football games, or you’ve got a budding football (or fútbol) star, cross-country runner, tennis hopeful, or golfer… if you’re on the sidelines, don’t forget a sun hat. We’ve got options for the whole family. The dads of the crowd can choose The Explorer or The Palm Beach – both offer 50+ UPF protection while making a serious style statement. Moms, we’ve got you covered, too, with the packable Scrunchie, Victoria Fedora (in every color of the rainbow), or The Casual Traveler. Regardless of which one you choose, you’ll turn heads and protect yours at the same time. And, if you’re bringing little ones along, remember they need sun protection hats too. With options like the Sawyer, The Microfiber Platypus, or The Junior Explorer, your kids will look adorable and have UPF 50+ protection on their side. )

Headed to the Golf Course?

If you’ve got a swanky three-quarter zip, a cute golf skirt, and enough coffee for at least nine holes, then you’re ready for a nice fall round. But is your head in the game? Whether it’s a quick nine or you’re making a day of it with 18, our UPF 50+ Carkella Collection is here for you. Choose from the wind-resistant Carkella Fairway Fedora, The Carkella Tahoe, or The Lily Visor. All are perfect for golf, sun protection, and making a fashion-forward statement. )

Maybe it’s not sports, but music and festivals that move you.

If fall festivals are your game, a hat can add a healthy dose of sun protection and a bit of oomph to your look. Ladies, if a romantic cowboy look is up your alley, try The Quinn – it’s a classic modeled after the hat in Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Or maybe you have a more mountain vibe, in which case The Colorado is the perfect option. And guys, for a fun, edgy look, try The Cortez – handmade in Mexico; this fan favorite has a unique, turned-up brim, and quality can’t be beat. )

Is it even fall if you don’t take a hike or two?

I dare you to find a better fall activity than an afternoon hike. Throw in a latte, a glass of wine, or hot cider afterward, and you’ve found perfection. But don’t put a damper on the day by harming your skin – cover your bases with one of Wallaroo’s sun protection hats designed with the hiker in mind, such as The Summit or The Sanibel (both have chin straps and UPF 50+). Even when it’s cooler, the water still calls.

Nothing beats a day on the lake or river and breathing clean Fall air. But let’s not forget that the sun reflects off the water, making the need for eye, skin, and overall sun protection not a must but a NEED. So, grab your protective sunglasses, slather on the SPF, throw on a UPF shirt, AND… don’t forget your head. The Aqua Hat is always a solid choice, and the chin strap and UPF 50+ of The Sanitas or The Cabo make solid choices as well. We’ve got a number of great UPF styles for everyone. )

If Fall is Your Ticket to Hit the Road, Pack Your Hat:

If you missed the summer vacation bandwagon and are headed out this fall instead, don’t forget your sun hat. Whether it’s an island vacation, a weekend golf trip, or a week of hiking in Vermont, we have options that will work wherever your compass is pointed. Choose from favorites like The Kristy or The Petite Kristy, The Logan, The Emery, or any of our packable hats.

Headed to an Outdoor Wedding, Shower, or Party?

We don’t know about you, but sometimes we struggle to pick the perfect outfit for an outdoor celebration. Then we discovered a secret – people will forget your outfit if you wear a great hat … especially a Wallaroo. Depending on the venue and occasion, there’s a Wallaroo hat that’ll work for you and offer the sun protection you need. So, you don’t just look good, you’re also pretty smart. Shop the men’s, women’s, or unisex collections for a look that matches your style.

For gals who love stripes, The Marseille has your number, plus it’s easy to carry wherever you go (it’s packable) and offers 50+ UPF protection. Or try The Elise, an elegant and timeless wide-brimmed option with UPF 50+ protection, inspired by the romance movie Somewhere In Time. Meanwhile, guys might like The Avery, a lightweight and classy option offering sun protection and style. And for a modern take on the classic fedora, try The Carter – a stylish option that comes in a two-way color block or solid graphite.

Whatever your plans, fall is one of the best times of the year. The crisp, clean weather begs us to get outside every chance we can. Hold onto those beautiful days the smart way… with a stylish and smart Wallaroo hat – because sun protection is a year-round game! )

It’s a sunny life. Wear your hat.
