Frequently Asked Questions

What UPF rating does the GoldenOur hat have?
The GoldenOur Sun Hat is UPF 50 certified, meaning it blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays — only 1/50th of UV radiation passes through the fabric. UPF 50 is rated "Very Good" sun protection.

What is the difference between UPF and SPF?
SPF measures how well sunscreen protects skin from UVB rays. UPF measures how much UV radiation — both UVA and UVB — a fabric blocks. A UPF 50 hat provides consistent protection built into the fabric itself, without reapplication.

Do I still need sunscreen if I wear a UPF 50 hat?
Yes. The hat protects the areas it covers — your face, head, and neck. You should still apply sunscreen to any exposed skin including your arms, chest, and the back of your neck.

What is the brim width?
The GoldenOur Sun Hat has a wide brim designed to shade your face, neck, and shoulders. The snap sides allow you to fold the brim into a cowboy-inspired silhouette.

What is the hat made of?
The GoldenOur hat is made with an organic blend of organic 80% cotton/20% linen and is certified UPF 50+. It's lightweight and breathable for all-day outdoor wear, and strong enough for very good sun protection.

Is the hat waterproof?
The hat is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It is designed for beach days, travel, and outdoor wear — not swimming.
