Care: Pure Pure sun hats can be machine washed at 30 degrees. Reshape when wet and line dry. Do not tumble dry. Best to rinse in fresh water after going to the beach to remove salt.
- Dermatologists recommend covering up as second most important protective measure after staying out of the sun.
- To be protective, clothing needs to cover as much skin as possible and should fit loosely.
- A long-sleeved shirt and a wide-brimmed hat are far better than a T-shirt with a baseball cap
- Stretched, old and/or wet fabrics may reduce the protective effect of fabrics dramatically.
- Look for certified UV protective textiles, without chemical UV treatments
UV Protection - Pure Pure hats have been tested according to Australian-New Zealand sun production standards and all their hats have good to very good UV protection. And that is without any chemical post-treatment as per many other UV rated hats. The dense weaves and strong colours protect naturally.
