Women's Ultra Wide Brim Sun Hats UPF 50+

Maximum coverage for serious sun protection. Solbari's ultra wide brim hat collection is for women who want more coverage than a standard sun hat can provide. With brims measuring 12.5 cm at the front and up to 15 cm at the back, these styles help shade the face, ears, neck and shoulders during extended outdoor wear.

The range includes the Solbari Ultra Wide Brim Hat with adjustable sizing and a ponytail-friendly fit, the Ultra Wide Cotton Linen Hat in a breathable natural fibre blend of cotton and linen, and the Summer Ultra Wide Brim Sun Hat for generous coverage and extended wear.

Every style uses fabric independently tested and rated UPF 50+, helping block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric on covered areas. Adjustable sizing and comfortable construction support all-day wear. Selected styles may carry third-party recommendation seals and medical expert recommendations where current, product-specific substantiation is approved.

When a wide brim isn't enough

A standard wide brim hat helps shade the face, but lower sun angles and extended outdoor exposure can still leave the ears, neck and shoulders exposed. Ultra wide brims of 12.5-15 cm cast a larger shadow across these areas, making them suitable for beach days, travel, outdoor events and high ultraviolet exposure conditions.

Solbari's ultra wide styles go beyond the Cancer Council's recommended minimum brim length for added coverage, without sacrificing comfort. Lightweight fabrics, adjustable bands and ponytail-friendly designs support all-day wear.

Solbari FAQs

A wide brim hat usually features a 7.5-10 cm brim, while an ultra wide brim extends to 12.5-15 cm for greater coverage across the ears, neck and shoulders. Solbari's ultra wide styles feature up to a 15 cm back brim.

A Solbari Ultra Wide Brim Hat may suit women spending extended time outdoors, people with sun-sensitive skin and anyone wanting generous shade in high ultraviolet exposure conditions, including beach days, gardening and travel.

A wider brim casts a larger shadow, helping reduce exposure to UV rays across the ears, neck and upper chest, especially when the sun sits lower in the sky. A hat should be used as part of a complete sun protection routine, with sunscreen on exposed skin, sunglasses and shade.

Selected styles are lightweight, flexible and easy to pack for holidays and warm-weather travel. The Ultra Wide Cotton Linen Hat is especially breathable and travel-friendly.

Adjustable inner bands and sizing toggles at the back of the hat create a secure fit, and several styles include ponytail-friendly openings for added comfort. Check the individual product page for style-specific features.
