Ponytail Bucket Hats

Everyday sun hats made for hair-up days

Ponytail, braid, bun, then hat on top. Our Originals Ponytail Bucket Hats make that combination much more comfortable.

They have the same UPF50+ protection, soft cotton-rich fabric and foam-reinforced anti-flop brim as our Classic Bucket, with a discreet opening at the back so longer hair can sit naturally outside the hat.

Who is the Ponytail Bucket Hat best for?

This style starts from around 2 years and continues through bigger kids and teens.

It’s made for everyday outdoor wear, from daycare and school to park days, holidays and weekends outside.

Ponytail Bucket or Classic Bucket?

Choose the Ponytail Bucket Hat if your child regularly wears their hair in a ponytail or braid.

If they don’t need a hair opening, our Classic Bucket Hats have the same comfortable fit and anti-flop brim in a traditional bucket shape.

Looking for a younger-child style?

For babies and younger toddlers, explore our Legionnaire Hats and Toddler Bucket Hats, with softer shapes designed for earlier stages.

Heading to the water?

For beaches, pools and swimming lessons, our Swim Ponytail Bucket Hats use quick-drying, chlorine-friendly fabric while keeping the handy ponytail opening.

Kids who don’t need a ponytail opening can choose a Swim Classic Bucket Hat instead.

Add a UPF50+ Rash Vest and Wet Bag for the rest of their water-day gear.

Prefer a linen hat?

Our Linen Broadbrim Hats offer UPF50+ protection in breathable 100% linen, with adjustable sizing and reversible designs for everyday wear.

Need more than one hat?

A Ponytail Bucket can be selected as part of our Children’s Essentials Bundle, with two everyday UPF50+ hats and one swim hat in your choice of styles and sizes. Or pair a UPF50+ sun hat with a fleecy winter hat in our Winter Essentials Bundle. 

For grown-ups, explore our Adult Cotton Hats & Visors for UPF50+ everyday options in soft cotton fabrics.

Measure around the widest part of your child’s head and check our Hat Size Guide before ordering.
