Sun Hats and UV Protective Clothing

The SolarDry range of clothing from Craghoppers has an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 40+. The UPF rating quantifies the level of protection a garment gives against harmful UVa and UVb radiation. A garment rated as UPF 40+ will block over 97.5% of the UV radiation and this is the highest rating awarded under the European standard.

Legionnaire Style Hats provide unrivalled protection to the back of the head and neck.

Often it is the exposed area of skin above your neck line that gets most badly burnt - particularly around the back where sunscreen is a bit more awkward to apply - and a Legionnaire Style Hat should help to prevent this.

Bush Hats and Baseball Caps are perennial favourites for wearing when out and about in the sunshine.

They're also very practical and robust - they can be folded up and shoved in a pocket or bag, but after a shake or two they're as good as new and ready to wear again.

Bamboo Folding Fan Hats are ideal for hot summer days when they provide much needed protection from the sun - and if you're sitting in the shade they can even double as a fan! The hats are made from a printed cotton fabric that is fastened to a frame made from sliced bamboo that can be folded like a fan and slipped into a pocket or bag when the sun goes in.

Pop Up Sun Hats offer all the benefits of a wide brimmed sun hat without the hassle of carrying around a big bulky hat. The adult hats have an 16 or 18 inch brim, but they twist and fold into a 6 inch disc that can be carried in a pocket or bag. Ideal for those days when the sun doesn't quite know what it's doing, but you don't want to be caught out without a hat if it does decide to shine.

Pop Up Rain Hats are very similar in design to the Pop Up Sun Hats, but they're made of waterproof nylon instead of cotton.

They have a wide brim to keep you dry, and they twist and fold into a convenient 6 inch pouch when not in use. Ideal for carrying in a bag or pocket to help you cope with rainy day blues.

A bandana can be a very useful thing to have when travelling.

Their versatility is legendary - they can be used as a neck scarf, head covering, face mask or towel - and that's just for starters!
