To meet the growing demand for very high sun protection, Marie-Claire Castagn\u00e9 decided to specialise in ANTI-UV and ANTI-INFRARED hats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The company is based in her hometown of La Baule<\/strong>, in the Loire-Atlantique region. It now has a branch in Paris, in the 18th arrondissement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Through meetings with dermatologists and other skin specialists, Marie-Claire realised that there was something missing in the sun protection market: a lightweight hat that offered very high sun protection and stayed cool in the sun. We all know that hats protect us from the sun, but they don't all protect in the same way, just as sun creams don't all have the same protection factor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Marie-Claire's goal, with the support of her husband and then her daughter, was to create the most protective hat possible. However, a protective hat often means a hat that keeps you warm and that you take off because it is heavy (due to the very tight weave required to achieve this high level of protection).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The winning trio of \u2018performance, lightness and freshness\u2019<\/strong> \u2013 in other words, permanent protection because it is comfortable \u2013 has been the guiding principle behind the company's years of research and development. Today, this goal has been achieved and the technical design of Soway hats has been patented.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Indeed, the \u2018Soway\u2019 is a product that combines three qualities never before seen in a single ha:<\/strong><\/p>\n
