Our collection of suncaps for women is no exception.

When it comes to sun protection, a hat is often your first line of defence. Whether you plan to enjoy a day at the beach or play a game of tennis, a cap or hat should be one of your summer essentials. They shield your face and neck from the sun’s harmful UV rays while helping you stay cool and comfortable. They are designed to protect your skin during the peak afternoon heat. As with all of our items, our ladies’ sunhats have also been tested tough.

Discover the benefits of choosing a suncap for women, as well as some top features to look for. We’ll also share guidance on how to best care for your suncap to extend its longevity.

Why Choose a Suncap for Women?

Whether your summer adventures involve playing a round of golf or having a picnic on the beach, there are several reasons to include a ladies’ sun hat or cap as a part of your outfit.

First and foremost, hats offer exceptional UV protection. By creating a physical barrier between your skin and the sun, you’re helping to reduce the risk of long-term skin damage more effectively than any suncream.

Hats also help to reflect heat away. In addition, many feature moisture-wicking properties that help you stay dry and cool on the hottest days.

When the sun starts beating down, another benefit of a hat is its glare-reducing effect. Whether you’re wearing a visor, cap, bucket hat or booney, each product type is equipped with a brim to reduce eye strain on water, snow and bright trails.

Each of Columbia’s suncaps for women also features a design that makes them highly versatile. From classic styles to more contemporary ones, they easily transition from active pursuits to casual lunches al fresco. Each model is also available in a range of colours, from neutrals like cream and beige to brighter options like blue and orange.

Top Features of Women’s Suncaps

When selecting a suncap for women, check out just some of the top features available in the Columbia collection.

• Omni-Shade^TM Broad Spectrum: Featuring UPF 50, this exclusive technology uses specially engineered fabrics to block a wider range of UVA and UVB rays.
• Omni-Wick^TM: To ensure you stay dry and comfortable, our enhanced wicking technology draws moisture from sweat away from the skin and disperses it across the fabric’s surface for quick evaporation.
• Omni-Freeze^TM Zero: To keep you cool and dry, this innovative technology uses sweat-activated blue rings to absorb moisture and accelerate evaporation for lasting comfort in the heat.
• Omni-Shield^TM: For protection in damp conditions, this patented technology repels moisture and resists stains by preventing liquids from absorbing into the fast-drying material.
• Insect Shield®: For long-lasting insect repellency, this technology uses an active ingredient inspired by flowers to convert apparel into effective insect protection.

Caring for Your Suncap

Follow the care instructions that come with your specific item. Here is some general guidance to care for your suncap.

• Hand wash with a mild detergent. This will help to preserve the shape of the brim.
• Use a small, soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the internal sweatband to prevent discolouration.
• Stuff the hat with a towel or place it over a bowl to dry. This will help to maintain the hat’s original shape.
• Air dry in the shade. This will help to preserve the colour and fit of your hat.
