UPF 50+Hats

What is UPF?
UPF is the abbreviation for Ultraviolet Protection Factor.
A UPF 50+ rating is granted to hats that have been proven to block 50% or more of ultraviolet radiation. The hats are tested on a machine called a UV 1000F Ultraviolet Transmittance Analyzer which measures the spectral transmittance of the Squishee® straw or fabric brim. The data is then converted to an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) used to determine the material’s protective ability.
Eric Javits headwear materials are tested against the standards developed by the American Society for Testing Methods (ASTM) Committee D-13.65 and the American Association for Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) for UV testing and labeling of sun protective clothing and shade devices.
Eric Javits hats, certified with this rating, are labeled as such and guaranteed to deliver an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 50+, the maximum rating given.
Dermatologists recommend wearing hats in conjunction with sunscreens because the active ingredients in sunscreens deactivate after exposure of more than 2 hours to light.

Protection from the sun is important, especially if you plan on spending a considerable amount of time in the sun. Not every designer hat offers UPF 50+ sun protection, function, and style. Eric Javits brings you stylish, designer UPF 50+ sun hats. These hats are made with Squishee®, a unique material that resembles raffia straw. A hat’s UPF ability is determined by the amount of ultraviolet light that can reach the skin. A hat with a rating of UPF 50+ will block 98% of harmful ultraviolet rays from reaching your skin and will help you enjoy your time in the sun safely.

Why UPF 50+ Hats Help Protect You From the Sun

Time spent in the sun generally benefits your overall skin health. Depending on the individual, fifteen to thirty minutes spent outside each day helps balance vitamin D levels in the body. Vitamin D helps the body retain calcium and phosphorus, which is important for strong bones. Healthy levels of vitamin D can also help reduce certain kinds of cancer cell growth, support the immune system, and control aging in the skin to a certain extent. However, too much time in the sun without adequate protection can increase the likelihood of skin cancer and lead to aging and wrinkling in the skin.

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, a well-designed sun hat plays an important role in reducing skin cancer and protecting the skin against the sun. A UPF 50+ sun hat, rated as excellent in protecting your skin from the sun, helps protect your scalp, neck, and face. More than 90% of skin cancers include basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.

You should plan on wearing a UPF 50+ hat whenever you plan on spending any amount of time in the sun. On days when the UV Index is anywhere from 3 to 7, you should plan on wearing your sun hat. On days when the UV Index is higher than 7, you could develop skin damage in as little as 15 minutes, so a hat is a must even when you go outside for short periods of time on these days.

UPF 50+ Designer Sun Hats From Eric Javits

The Daphne Fedora has a wide brim that goes all the way around so that it will protect your neck and upper back and your face and ears. Thanks to the elastic inner band, you will forget you have it on. If a hat isn’t comfortable, you probably won’t keep it on due to the pressure on the temples and forehead. The inner elastic band eliminates this common issue. You will look effortlessly polished in this sun hat, UPF 50.

If you like simple silhouettes, cast your eyes on the Marina Bucket UPF 50+ hats. This classic hat is made of Squishee material that resembles raffia. The simplicity of this design makes it perfect for everyday use. The minimalist shape has the appeal of sophistication. It pairs well with almost any outfit, making this the ultimate daily lifestyle sun hat.

Who doesn’t love a floppy hat? The eye-catching sun hat began gaining popularity in the late 60s and continues to embody summer. The Eric Javits Floppy is among the top favorites of women’s UPF 50 sun hats. The loose wide brim softly frames your face while giving you extra sun protection with the Squishee material. You can’t go wrong when styling this sun hat with your outfits.

If you only need sun protection on your face and prefer a visor, look at these women’s UPF 50 sun hats. The Champ is made of the Squishee material with a peak size of 3.5” with a solid-colored band. (Champ II has a 4.5” peak span). This is a stunning hat for activities like tennis and golf because they won’t slip off. The removable inner terry cloth band makes this comfortable enough for all-day wear. Luxury and function, who knew?
