Hats protect you from the sun,
but not all hats offer the same level of protection.
Just as sunscreens do not all have the same protection factor, a Soway hat protects you three times more than a conventional hat.
ANTI-UV
UPF 50+ Certified
Soway hats offer very high sun protection, UPF 50+ (cotton has an average UPF of 15).
Certified to the Australian sun protection standard (the most stringent).
ANTI-INFRAREDS
Stay cool in the sun
When the sun's infrared rays hit our skin, we feel heat.
Soway hats repel infrared rays, so they don't heat up in the sun (up to 10° cooler under a Soway hat).
LIGHTWEIGHT
Less than 100 g
Weighing less than 100 g, Soway hats are the only lightweight hats that offer both very high sun protection and stay cool in the sun.
What's more, they roll up into their own pouch (provided with purchase)!
3X MORE PROTECTIVE
than a classic hat
A partner of Dermatology Congresses since 2014, Soway is recommended by an increasing number of dermatologists for its unique patent, which provides the best protection for their patients who are hypersensitive to the sun (melanomas, carcinomas, etc.).
Your dermatologist will surely advise you
to protect yourself from the sun!
UV Protection
Unrivalled comfort, controlled heat!
Wearing a Soway UV protection hat will effectively protect you from UV rays, while guaranteeing unrivalled comfort. Lightweight, breathable and infrared-resistant, your hat will not heat up in the sun, meaning you can keep it on your head for longer.
We know that hats protect you from the sun, but not all hats offer the same level of protection, just as not all sun creams have the same protection factor. A Soway hat protects you three times more than a conventional hat.
Limited sun capital
The need for protection
Si le capital soleil n’est pas renouvelable, il peut s’entretenir et se préserver par la protection solaire. Il s’épuise plus vite à certaines périodes de notre vie notamment pendant l’enfance.
Protéger les enfants
It is essential to preserve sun capital from childhood onwards, particularly by protecting the most commonly exposed areas such as the face and neck.
Sun capital can not only be maintained, but also improved with appropriate sun protection from childhood onwards. Numerous studies have shown that the skin capitalises on the sun protection it receives during childhood.
Regular application of appropriate protection during childhood and adolescence can reduce the risk of skin cancer in adulthood by nearly 60%.
Of course, wearing a hat does not replace sunscreen, sunglasses and a T-shirt!
