One of the best things about summer is the number of outdoor activities awaiting us when the weather is nice. Is there anything better than the season’s inaugural round of golf? The first tennis match? Or how about the joy and satisfaction that comes from getting our gardens in order?
Regardless of what activities fill your sunny days, there’s one thing we all need to keep in mind - sun protection. This means wearing SPF 50 sunscreen, sun protective clothing, and a Wallaroo UPF 50+ hat. Wallaroo hats protect us from the sun’s harmful rays, add a stylish flair to our outfits, and let’s not forget, protect our hair. We all know that the sun can do a number on the highlights and treatments that we invest a great deal of time and money into. A Wallaroo hat offers the protection we need, in great styles that pair well with the various summer activities we all enjoy.
If the garden is your happy place, Wallaroo has several hats crafted from UPF 50+ materials. Women can choose from The Nosara with its extra wide brim, UPF 50+ woven raffia, and chin strap, or The Lady Jane - for elegance designed in collaboration with actress Jane Seymour. An inner drawstring adjusts the fit, and each hat boasts a unique artistically designed scarf. And finally, The Tulum is a timeless palm fiber straw hat with a twisted leather tie for a stylish touch, and a 4” brim for maximum sun protection.

For tennis buffs, find function and fashion in The Gabi or The Petite Gabi. Customers describe it as “the perfect hat,” and we agree. Sophisticated yet playful (it’s a ponytail hat, after all), The Gabi is the perfect companion for your next match.

Perhaps your racket is Pickleball. If this is the case, we have the hat for you! Try one of our visors, such as The Lily Visor from Carkella. The Lily visor features a wide brim to block the glare of the sun, and it’s fashionable and portable - just roll it up and throw it in your bag! Or, give the sporty Sedona Visor a try.

If the beach is calling you, wearing a hat is a no-brainer. We’ve got options that will protect you from the rays and add a flair to your beach look. Choose from The Paloma with its frayed edge and black ribbon accent, the packable Montecito for a clean and polished look, or the all-natural fedora-style Baja handcrafted in Mexico. You’ll love its chin strap for extra wind protection.

And finally - who doesn’t love a festival? Our Western Hats add boho flair to your festival style. Try The Quinn for a romantic, cowboy look (inspired by Jane Seymour’s hat in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman). Or make a statement in The Catalina Cowboy, available in three colors and a petite size. UPF 50+ hats are a must at outdoor summer concerts, consider The Cortez – handmade in Mexico with a unique, turned up brim, the look and quality can’t be beat
