About brand
Solumbra has been making sun protective clothing since 1992, long before the category became as widely recognized as it is today. The brand was founded with a straightforward idea — that clothing should be able to do the job of blocking harmful UV rays reliably, without making you slather on sunscreen every few hours just to stay protected.
Every piece they make is rated at SPF 100+, which puts them at the top end of sun protection available in clothing. The fabrics are lightweight and breathable, so even on hot days you’re not trading comfort for coverage. That balance is something a lot of sun protective clothing brands struggle to get right, but Solumbra has had decades to fine-tune it.
The brand tends to attract people who have a real reason to take sun exposure seriously — those going through cancer treatment, people with lupus or other light-sensitive conditions, outdoor workers, and anyone who spends long hours outside and wants a practical, lasting solution. It’s not a fashion brand by any stretch, but what it does, it does better than most.
FAQ
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and measures how much UV radiation penetrates fabric. A UPF 30+ rating means the fabric blocks at least 96.7% of UV rays. SPF is used for sunscreens, while UPF is the standard for clothing and hats.
The protection is permanent because it’s built into the fabric itself, not applied as a coating. Your Solumbra hat will maintain its protective qualities for the life of the garment, even after repeated washing.
Yes, most Solumbra hats are machine washable. Check the care label on your specific hat, but generally you can wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry. The UPF protection won’t wash out.
The hat protects the areas it covers—typically your face, neck, and ears depending on the style. You should still use sunscreen on exposed skin like your arms, legs, and any areas the hat doesn’t shade.
Different styles offer varying levels of coverage and fit different activities. Wide-brim hats give maximum face and neck protection, while caps work better for athletic activities. Choose based on where you need coverage and what you’ll be doing.
Sun Precautions makes sun-protective hats in various sizes, including options for kids. Check their full product line for age-appropriate styles and sizing.

Clients Thought
People who wear Solumbra tend to be pretty vocal about how much of a difference it’s made for them, especially those dealing with skin conditions or recovering from skin cancer treatment. The feedback that comes up most often is that the clothing actually delivers on its protection claims while still being comfortable enough to wear for hours at a stretch.
I’ve worn my Solumbra hat for three years through hiking, gardening, and beach trips, and it still looks great while keeping my fair skin protected. No more constant sunscreen reapplication or that tight, burned feeling at the end of the day—this hat just works.

I spend weekends fishing and playing golf, and my Solumbra cap has saved me from the constant sunburns I used to get on my neck and ears. It’s comfortable enough that I forget I’m wearing it, but my skin definitely notices the difference.

Living in Texas means serious sun, and my Solumbra hat has become as essential as my sunglasses. I love that I can throw it in the wash after sweaty outdoor workouts and it comes out perfect every time, still giving me the same protection it did on day one.
