No two heads are the same, so it's always best to measure your child's head to get the ideal fit.

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

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

Step 3: Choose a hat size with the smallest measurement closest to your child's head measurement. Our Wanderer Panelled Bucket Hats have adjustable ties in the crown to get the perfect fit to your child's head size with a 4cm range in each hat. By choosing the smallest size of the range, you will get the most wear out of it.

FOR EXAMPLE: If your child's head measures 51cm, you will want the 50-54cm hat to ensure plenty of future wear. If your child's head is measuring 53cm, it's best to go to the 54-58cm as you can pull in the ties to make the hat size 54cm.

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.
 
Why do we test the pH of our Heritage fabrics?
We believe the little details matter, especially when it comes to fabrics worn close to children's skin.
During manufacturing, processes such as dyeing and finishing can affect a fabric's pH. That's why we test our finished fabrics to check they fall within our specified acceptable pH range.
It's another step in our quality-control process, helping us maintain the fabric standards we expect from every Bedhead collection.
