Kids' Play Hat in Morning Glory
Check out this review from Spilt Milk Moms on our Kids’ Play Hat:
“Is there any situation more frustrating than trying to keep a hat on a toddler who has decided he is not-under-any-circumstances-going-to-wear-a-hat? If there is, I haven’t found it. But what I have found is the Kids’ Play Hat from Sunday Afternoons! As you can see from the photo above, this is one unique summer hat. It features a full brim that continues around the sides of the head for full cheek and ear protection, the rear veil protects the neck, and the ‘Smart Strap’ keeps your little one from winning the not-under-any-circumstances-going-to-wear-a-hat battle…”

Jennifer Koles wearing the Sun Tripper Cap
Jennifer Koles at Backpackgeartest.com just summitted a great review of our SUN TRIPPER CAP.
Read below to see what she had to say.
“Since I purchased the Sun Tripper I have worn it as much as I possible could during many types of activities. Generally I wear it while hiking and backpacking, but I have also worn it after my mountain bike rides, on the beach path, and rock climbing. Sometimes I just carry it in my pack, just to have it handy.
I have worn the Sun Tripper in temperatures ranging from the low 50’s F (10 C) to the high 90’s F (35 C). It has also been worn in misting rain. The cap is not waterproof, nor is it intended to be. But, it does protect my head from becoming wet in a misting rain.”
“The Sun Tripper Cap is my favorite cap! There are many reasons why this is my favorite cap: the styling is great, it has ventilation, it is lightweight, it can be folded, and it has an adjustable pull cord. In my opinion the brim is the perfect length. It is balanced with the rest of the cap. It does not shield my entire face or ears from sunlight. But, it shields my eyes and sometimes my nose. I wear sunscreen on my face, so I am not necessarily concerned with having my entire face protected when wearing a cap. I wear a cap to protect my head and shield my eyes from sunlight. And the Sun Tripper does the job for me.”
