A-Best Value
Best value โ certified UPF 40+ at $52, cinch strap, packs into a tube for travel.
At $52, the Madewell is one of only two hats here with a UPF claim behind it โ UPF 40+, where the $270 Helen Kaminski has none. The cinch strap lets you collapse it into a tube for carry-on packing. The 8cm brim is the narrowest here and leaves more of the lower face exposed, so pair it with SPF on your nose and chin on high-UV days.
Pros
- Certified UPF 40+ โ rare at this price
- Cinch strap allows tube packing for carry-ons
- Affordable at $45โ60
Cons
- 8cm brim is narrowest โ least lower-face coverage
