Sunday Afternoons

Play Hat - Kids'

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I grabbed the Play Hat for a young adventurer in my family and it's become the hat we reach for every time we head outside. The neck cape adds real coverage for all-day sun exposure, and the SmartStrap chinstrap that breaks away under pressure is the kind of safety detail that gives parents genuine peace of mind."

Long summer days at the beach, the trail, or the backyard call for a hat that can keep up with the kid wearing it. The Sunday Afternoons Play Hat delivers full sun coverage in a lightweight, breathable build that young adventurers will actually want to put on, with fun patterns and bold colors that make it easy to spot across a crowded playground or a busy campsite.

UPF 50+ rated fabric, a wide brim, and a neck cape work together to shield face, ears, and neck from direct sun exposure during the hours it matters most. Mesh ventilation panels keep air moving on hot days so the hat stays comfortable rather than stifling, and ShieldTek DWR treatment sheds moisture and stains when things get messy, which they always do. The SmartStrap chinstrap holds the hat securely in wind and movement but breaks away cleanly if it gets snagged, removing the risk of dangerous tangling during active play. For days that start at sunrise and end well past sunset, the Play Hat is built to be there for all of it.
