the perfect toddler sun hat!
I bought these for my sons before a recent trip to Moab where weather projections where showing in the high 90’s for temperature. Though the product bills itself as ages 4-7 I happily report that they have suited my 2 and 3 year old sons very well, however it is note worthy that they both do have rather large heads for their ages. The hates preformed remarkably on our trip, and have become a pretty much daily staple sense then. They provide ample shade where the kids need, while the sewn in vents prevent heat build up remarkably well; plus they look simply adorable. Wins all the way around as far as I’m concerned.
Great hat!
Really great hat! Good quality. We live in SoCal so I wanted a hat that we can take to the beach, Seaworld, Disneyland…etc. When we had it at Seaworld, we sat in the splash zone and it my son got soaked. It really beaded the water instead of absorbing it. I originally got a 4-7yrs size. My son is 3yo but he’s larger than your average kid. So I exchanged it for the next size up which will last more than one season.
A good hat for summer!
This is a youth sized hat but fits me and I'm 47 years old. It is very comfortable, so much that I forget I'm wearing it. The hat has vents on the sides and you can attach the side brims with the snap buttons on the hat. The materials and build are high quality too.
Jealous of an 8 YO’s hat!
Kiddo needed a sun hat as his school has a lot of outside time. Hubz was jealous b/c his doesn’t have the air vents that this one does! Kiddo loves it!
PFAS
Good hat for the kids but I returned it after learning that the Co-op brand products use PFAS in their DWR.
All around, year round hat
Terrific hats. Lightweight, waterproof, quick-drying, well made, and comfortable!
Gift for Nephew
