Summer Hats
About Summer Hats at The North Face
UV rays can do a lot of damage to unprotected skin. That's why we've specifically designed our hats with extra sun protection, some up to UPF 50. (UPF is a number that measures effectiveness, like SPF in sunscreen.) If you're going into the summer sun, make sure you come prepared. A visor hat can help shade your eyes at the local ballgame. Our bucket hats make great beach hats for their 360 coverage. Try a "brimmer" wide brim sun hat on the trail, along with some more sun protection clothing to complete the look.
Lack of color or style? Not on our watch! A wide brim floppy hat isn't the only way to complete your summer look. Whether it's a bucket hat to pair with one of our trail-worthy summer dresses, or a brimmer to wear when you lace on the hiking boots, there are plenty of unisex styles to choose from. Grab a baseball hat and your favorite t-shirt and you're ready for fun in the sun.

The problem with a summer straw hat or a panama hat is that they're not easily packable hats. Summertime sun invites adventures and travel, and that means you want to be able to take things along. Enter our comfortable, breathable hats. From a foldable baseball cap that you can pack in a backpack to a crushable bucket style that you can slide in your beach bag alongside your cover-ups and your swimsuit, these are the best sun hats for travel. The drawstring chin strap on out brimmers even means you can hang your hat around your next for easy carry while you set up your tent or go into a store for necessities.
Once you’ve got your hat, it’s time to focus on the rest of your summer outfit. Get protection from the UV rays with men’s and women’s sun protective clothing. Outfit your kids with their own childrens’ summer clothes, from girls’ summer clothes styles to kids’ hats for rain and shine.
Hit the beach, take a hike, or head to a music festival with summer hats to help shade your face and keep you cool. Shop our selection of warm-weather hats.
