Which Sunhat Is Right For You?

We all know how important it is to protect our little ones’ delicate skin from the sun’s harmful rays — but with so many options out there, how do you choose the right UPF50+ sunhat?

At Acorn Kids, every hat is thoughtfully designed for comfort, practicality, and protection. Let’s take a closer look at the features and benefits of each Acorn Kids UPF50+ sunhat to help you find the perfect fit for your child.

WIDE BRIM BUCKET HATS

A great choice for active little ones, these hats have a wide, full brim that covers the neck and ears without interrupting vision.

They also feature a cord and toggle around the head and under the chin, with a safety release snap for peace of mind.

All styles are tested and certified UPF50+ for maximum sun protection in accordance with Australian Standard AS4399.

WIDE BRIM SUNHATS

Our Wide Brim Sunhats feature a panelled crown and a softly waved brim, giving them a gentler look compared to bucket hats.

They include a cord and toggle around the head and under the chin, plus a safety release snap for added safety.

All styles are tested and certified UPF50+ for maximum protection under Australian Standard AS4399.

WIDE BRIM REVERSIBLE BUCKET HATS

Two styles in one! Our reversible hats are perfect for coordinating with a variety of outfits.

They feature a panelled crown for a softer look and a cord and tie around the head and under the chin. These styles don’t have a toggle, allowing the hat to be easily reversed.

Every reversible style is tested and certified UPF50+ for sun protection that meets Australian Standard AS4399.

WIDE BRIM INFANT HATS

Designed for ages 0–9 months, these infant sunhats feature an adjustable elastic cord around the crown to grow with your baby.

With a wide 6 cm brim for extra coverage, they come in two shapes — a curved brim for a softer look and a straight brim for a more classic style.

They also include an adjustable cord and toggle around the head, plus a cord and toggle with a safety release snap under the chin. All hats are rated UPF50+ for ultimate sun safety.

COTTON JERSEY BUCKET HATS

A new style in our collection, these cotton jersey bucket hats are made from beautifully soft fabric that provides flexibility and comfort — ideal for children who are sensitive to firmer materials.

They include a cord and toggle around the head and under the chin, a safety release snap, and are tested and certified UPF50+ for maximum sun protection.

COTTON JERSEY FLAP CAPS

Made from soft cotton jersey, these flap caps are flexible, breathable, and comfortable — perfect for little ones in carriers or times when a brim might get in the way.

The flap design offers added protection for the neck and ears, helping shield delicate skin during outdoor play.

TERRY TOWELLING BUCKET HATS

Inspired by the iconic ’80s bucket hat, these terry towelling styles are soft, comfy, and easy to fold or pack away — perfect for travel, beach days, or backyard play.

Available in a range of fun colours, they’re both stylish and practical for sunny days outdoors.

SWIM HATS

Our Swim Hats are made from quick-drying swimwear fabric, perfect for water play at the beach or pool.

Each hat has a reinforced brim to stop it from flopping into little ones’ eyes, even when wet — making them the ultimate sun-smart swim accessory.

FRAYED EDGE BUCKET HATS

Made from sturdy cotton canvas, our Frayed Edge Bucket Hats come in a range of plain colours for easy everyday wear.

They’re also available in size XXL for bigger kids and teens, making them a great family favourite.

Every Acorn Kids hat is tested and certified UPF50+, blocking 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays in accordance with Australian Standard AS4399.

From babies to big kids, you’ll find the perfect sunhat for every adventure — designed to keep them cool, comfy, and protected all summer long.
