One fact you can be sure of - no two heads are the same! ALWAYS measure your child's head before purchasing to ensure getting the accurate size.

Step 1: Distract the child with a toy or food (so they don't try and help you!).

Step 2: Use a measuring tape to take measurement. Otherwise use a ribbon to take the size then use a ruler to find the measurement.

Step 3: Purchase the size closest to your childs measurement. Our hats are very stretchy and will grow up to 4cm.

FOR EXAMPLE: The child measures 41cms, you will need the 42cm size that will stretch another 4cms up to 46cms - giving plenty of future wear. Purchasing the next size up would be too large and block the childs vision.

BRIM DEPTH - LEGIONNAIRE HATS

Sun protection you can trust
Little heads deserve great sun protection.
At Bedhead, we take sun safety seriously. Our UPF50+ hats undergo specialist laboratory testing to Australian Standard AS 4399:2020.
We don't just submit a piece of fabric for testing. Our finished hats are assessed across multiple material components, including the crown and brim, with the overall UPF rating determined by the lowest-performing component.
It's one of the ways we make sure our sun protection claims are backed by proper testing.
 
What does UPF50+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It measures how effectively a material blocks ultraviolet (UV) radiation. A UPF50+ rating means the tested material blocks at least 98% of UV radiation.
For our laboratory-tested finished hats, the UPF rating takes into account the different material components of the hat, rather than relying on a single fabric sample.
 
Why does hat design matter?
UPF50+ fabric is only part of good sun protection. The shape and fit of a hat matter too.
A tiny brim or shallow crown can leave little faces, ears and necks exposed, even when the fabric itself provides excellent UV protection. That's why we design our hats with generous coverage, comfortable fits and our unique anti-flop brims, helping keep the hat in place while little ones explore.
For the best sun protection, always combine hats with protective clothing, sunscreen, shade and sunglasses.
 
No added UV chemical treatments
Our UPF50+ protection comes from the fabric itself, not from an added UV-protective chemical coating or treatment. The fibres, fabric construction, knit or weave, and colour all contribute to how effectively the material blocks UV radiation.
Our fabrics undergo specialist laboratory testing to verify their UPF performance, ensuring our sun protection claims are supported by documented test results.
 
What about PFAS or “forever chemicals”?
Our Swim hats are designed to dry quickly thanks to their fibre composition, not because of an added water-repellent chemical treatment. We don't use added PFAS-based treatments to achieve their quick-drying performance.
Our Wet Bags use a separate plastic lining to help contain wet swimwear, rather than a water-repellent chemical coating applied to the fabric.
