What is UPF?
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin.

UPF 50+
Dermatologist Recommended
Dermatologists emphasize the importance of UPF 50+ protection to prevent sun damage—and Wallaroo hats deliver exactly that, blocking 98% of harmful UV rays.
"With over 4 million cases of skin cancer each year due to chronic exposure to UltraViolet A & B (rays), sun protection is imperative. I tell my patients that means using sunscreen and wearing a hat, as it’s difficult to protect the scalp with sunscreen."
Dr. Beth Briden, Board-Certified Dermatologist
