UPF 50+ Bucket Hats for Everyday Sun Protection

A Solbari bucket hat combines UPF 50+ fabric with a practical brim to provide comfortable everyday sun protection. The fabric helps reduce ultraviolet exposure on areas covered by the fabric, while the downward-angled brim creates shade across parts of the face and ears. All our UPF 50+ bucket hats for women are independently tested and certified, helping you enjoy more time outdoors with sun protection built into the fabric.

Like any sun hat, a bucket hat works best as part of a complete sun-smart routine. Pair it with broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed skin, protective clothing, sunglasses and shade where possible.

How to Choose a Women's Bucket Hat

When choosing a bucket hat, compare your head measurement, brim width, fabric and the activities you will use it for most often. A comfortable hat should feel secure without being too tight, while selected styles may include adjustable features such as a chin strap or toggle for a more personalised fit.

A classic bucket brim is ideal for compact everyday coverage, while a wider brim may be a better option if you would like more shade around the face and neck. Before choosing a style, check the product specifications and size guide, or explore our full collection of women's sun hats to compare different brim shapes and coverage levels.

Solbari FAQs

The amount of shade varies with the brim width and the position of the sun, so sunscreen is still recommended for exposed skin.

UPF measures how effectively a fabric blocks ultraviolet radiation. UPF 50+ helps block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric on covered areas.
