Classic Bucket Hats

Shop UPF50+ Classic Bucket Hats for kids from 2 years to teens. Soft, stretchy cotton-rich fabric and a foam-reinforced anti-flop brim make them a comfortable everyday choice for daycare, school, parks and outdoor play.

An everyday bucket hat for kids on the move

Once kids are running, climbing and spending more time out of the pram than in it, our Originals Classic Bucket Hats are ready to keep up.

Made from soft, stretchy cotton-rich fabric, they provide UPF50+ protection with a foam-reinforced anti-flop brim designed to stay up and out of their eyes through busy outdoor play.

Who is the Classic Bucket Hat best for?

The Classic Bucket starts from around 2 years and continues through bigger kids and teens.

It’s an easy all-round choice for daycare, preschool, school, playgrounds, backyard adventures and family days outside.

Classic Bucket or Ponytail Bucket?

Choose the Classic Bucket Hat for a traditional bucket shape.

For kids with longer hair, our Ponytail Bucket Hats offer the same everyday comfort and anti-flop brim with a discreet opening at the back for ponytails and braids.

Need something for a younger child?

For babies and younger toddlers, start with our Legionnaire Hats or Toddler Bucket Hats, which have softer shapes suited to little ones in prams and carriers.

What about swimming?

For beach days and pools, switch to a Swim Classic Bucket Hat or Swim Ponytail Bucket Hat. Their quick-drying, chlorine-friendly fabric is designed for water, while the anti-flop brim keeps its shape when wet.

Pair their swim hat with a UPF50+ Rash Vest and a Wet Bag.

Prefer linen for everyday wear?

Our Linen Broadbrim Hats are a breathable 100% linen alternative, with reversible designs and adjustable sizing for toddlers through to teens.

Want a daycare spare?
