UV Sun Hats – Thoughtful and Functional Sun Protection for Children

Summer days are made for play, adventure and plenty of sunshine, but the sun can be harsh, especially on delicate children’s skin. Petit Crabe UV sun hats are designed to be your child’s best defence against the sun, without compromising on comfort, freedom of movement or functionality. This is headwear that not only protects, but fits seamlessly into everyday summer adventures.

UPF 50+ Protection – Because Sunscreen Isn’t Enough

Every sun hat in our collection is made from fabric with UPF 50+, blocking up to 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. This provides effective protection for the head, face and neck, areas that are often overlooked in daily sun routines.

The brims are thoughtfully designed: a longer back flap protects the neck, while the front brim can be worn up or down depending on activity and conditions. The sun hat helps reduce the need for sunscreen on the most exposed areas, while offering lightweight, reliable protection throughout the day – even during hours of outdoor play.

All-Day Comfort – Even in the Heat

We know that children won’t wear a hat if it scratches, feels tight or gets too warm. That’s why all our UV sun hats are made from soft, breathable and quick-drying materials that feel light against the skin and never become heavy – not even after a swim or a run through the garden sprinkler.

The fabric is stretchy and adapts comfortably to the child’s head without squeezing. In the smallest sizes, the hat features chin ties to keep it securely in place, even when the child is active or the wind picks up. Most children forget they’re even wearing it, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Scandinavian Design with Timeless Details

Petit Crabe is rooted in Scandinavian design traditions: simple, functional and thoughtfully considered. Our sun hats come in calm, classic colours and understated prints that fit naturally into a Nordic design universe.

Clean lines and subtle details make the sun hats easy to combine with the rest of our UV swimwear. Sun protection becomes a natural part of the outfit, not just a practical add-on.

Made for Water, Land and Everything in Between

A UV sun hat from Petit Crabe is designed to be worn all day, whether playtime happens on the beach, in the water, on the lawn or by the pool. The hat dries quickly and keeps its shape, even when wet. It’s easy to pack and takes up very little space in your bag, perfect for holidays, beach trips, excursions and everyday use.

Every detail is considered: elastic comfort, breathability, freedom of movement and functionality. You get a sun hat that keeps up with your child’s pace while meeting your expectations for safety and quality.

One Look – Endless Combinations

All sun hats can be matched with the rest of the Petit Crabe collection, including UV sunsuits, rash guards, swim shorts, UV leggings and tops. Everything is designed within the same colour and print universe, making it easy to create a complete beach or poolside outfit where function and style work together.

This is especially practical when packing for holidays or summer stays. One coordinated set brings peace of mind, and reliable sun protection.

Produced with Care

At Petit Crabe, our UV sun hats are produced in Europe under responsible conditions. We use OEKO-TEX® certified materials, meaning the fabrics are tested and free from harmful chemicals. That’s good for your child’s skin, and good for your conscience.

We think long-term. The hats are made to be worn again and again, and often passed on. They retain both shape and colour season after season, even with exposure to sun, water and frequent washing. When you choose a UV sun hat from Petit Crabe, you invest in lasting quality and products you can trust.

When the Sun Hat Becomes Part of Summer

The best clothing is the kind you forget you’re wearing, and this is especially true for sun hats. Our UV sun hats for children are designed to follow kids in what they already love to do: play, swim, explore, run, build sandcastles and roll around in the grass.

It’s not an “extra” item, it becomes a natural part of the outfit. And when something protects, feels good and looks good, it gets worn. Again and again.
