Kids' Trim Brim Sun Hat

The Patagonia Kids' Trim Brim Sun Hat is a better choice than a standard cap when your kid is outside for extended periods. A baseball hat shades the face. This adds coverage around the ears and back of the neck, areas that are often exposed and easy to miss with sunscreen. It’s a more complete layer of protection for long days at the beach, park, or on the sidelines. It’s lightweight, packs easily, and dries quickly if it gets wet, which helps when kids run through water or get caught in light rain. The real decision comes down to compliance; if your kid will wear a brimmed hat, this gives you more coverage. If they won’t keep it on, stick with whatever they will wear and lean on sunscreen.
