How Slappy Hats Get Their UPF 50+ Superpowers

When it comes to sun safety, we’re serious, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun along the way. You’ve heard it before: Slip, Slop, Slap. And for good reason. It’s one of the simplest and smartest ways to protect skin from Australia’s seriously strong sun. Sunscreen and sunnies are great, but a proper sun-safe hat? That’s where the magic happens.


So… What’s UPF Anyway?


UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It’s a fancy name with a very important job. A UPF 50+ rating is the highest you can get, which means the fabric blocks up to 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. Translation? Less sun, more fun.


How Slappy Hats Do It Better


Slappy Hats are designed to work hard, for long days spent under the sun.


Clever Cotton

We use durable, tightly woven cotton that is breathable enough to keep heads cool, but tough enough to block UV rays.


Serious Coverage

With a 7.5cm brim and a 14cm legionnaire-style neck flap, Slappy Hats protect the face, ears, and neck - the spots that burn fastest and often forget sunscreen exists.


Extra Protection Where It Counts

A navy interior lining helps absorb UV radiation, giving extra peace of mind on long days outdoors.


Tested and Trusted

Our hats are independently tested to meet UPF 50+ standards, so you know they are doing exactly what they promise, even under the Aussie sun.


Made for Little Heads, Big Heads and Everyone In Between


From toddlers to adults, Slappy Hats are designed to fit the whole family. Adjustable chin straps keep hats firmly in place during beach days, bike rides, farm adventures, and boat trips. They are also lightweight, foldable, and machine washable, because real life is messy and hats should keep up.


Sun Safety, the Slappy Way


“Slip, Slop, Slap” isn’t just a catchphrase - it’s a lifestyle. A UPF 50+ Slappy Hat is the final and very important piece of the puzzle.


Designed by Aussie farm mums, for kids who never stop moving and parents who just want to relax a little.


So go on, slap one on and get out there. We’ve got the sun covered.
