Men's Sun Hats & Sun Caps UPF 50+

Men's Sun Hats & Sun Caps UPF 50+

A good sun protection routine starts with the right hat. Solbari's collection of men's sun hats and caps includes options for every outdoor activity, from golf and hiking to fishing, travel and beach days. The range features the bestselling Traveller Broad Brim Sun Hat UPF 50+ with its packable 8.25 cm brim and moisture-wicking sweatband, wide-brim styles for increased face and neck coverage, bucket hats with great style and practical sun protection, and Ultimate Protection designs including flap-neck styles for high ultraviolet environments.

While a standard baseball cap shades the forehead and part of the face, it leaves the ears, sides of the face and back of the neck exposed. A men's sun hat with a brim of at least 7.5 cm all around provides better coverage across these commonly exposed areas, making it a practical choice for extended time outdoors. Those who prefer a cap-style silhouette can also find a practical sun cap within our men's collection.

Solbari UPF 50+ hat fabrics help block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric and help protect covered skin from UV exposure. Use sunscreen on exposed skin, sunglasses, shade and other sun-smart behaviours as part of a complete sun protection routine. UV rays can reflect off surfaces, so sunscreen remains important on skin not covered by UPF 50+ fabric.

Sun cap or wide brim: choosing the right style

The right hat comes down to the level of coverage you need and the activities you do outdoors. Bucket hats offer a relaxed, packable design with an all-round brim, making them popular for fishing, hiking, walking, outdoor work and casual beach days. Wide-brim styles provide a more structured look, with broader brims for increased face, ear and neck coverage during golf, travel, beach days and everyday outdoor use.

The Traveller Broad Brim Sun Hat is a versatile option in the collection. Its 8.25 cm brim helps provide shade to the face, ears and neck, while the packable construction, adjustable fit and moisture-wicking sweatband make it practical for travel and active outdoor lifestyles. For more exposed environments, such as open-water fishing, alpine hiking or long workdays in direct sun, Ultimate Protection and flap-neck styles provide extra coverage across the back of the neck. Solbari hats help protect covered skin from UV exposure with their UPF 50+ fabric.

Every UPF 50+ hat in our men's range includes practical features that vary by style, which may include adjustable sizing, moisture-wicking sweatbands and travel-friendly construction.

Why a UPF 50+ sun hat outperforms a regular cap

Many standard baseball caps and cotton hats are not tested for ultraviolet sun protection and may provide only limited coverage. A men's sun hat made with UPF 50+ fabric helps block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric, while a full-circle brim helps provide shade to the ears, sides of the face and neck.

The ears and back of the neck are commonly exposed when spending time outdoors. A men's UPF 50+ broad-brim sun hat helps cover these areas while providing more consistent shade than a forward-facing cap alone.

Despite the additional coverage, Solbari's hats look and feel like premium outdoor headwear. From broad-brim and bucket styles to flap-neck designs, the range covers activities including golf, hiking, fishing, travel and everyday outdoor use.

Solbari FAQs

A good men's sun hat should use UPF 50+ fabric, provide useful shade for the face, ears and neck, fit securely and feel comfortable. An adjustable fit, moisture-wicking sweatband and packable design may also be worth considering for travel.
