Packable Hats for Little Heads

Kids are portable and their stuff should be too.

Packable hats can be tucked away in a bag, purse or pocket and instantly provide a portable puddle of shade to pop onto little heads when the sun comes out.

And because they're for kids it's helpful if the hats are washable, durable and adorable too!

Here's our selection of just-for-kids sun hats that travel well and keep up with active youngsters.

Kids Packable Hats with Great Coverage

Available in 3 different sizes the hats will fit infants to 3rd graders. Each hat adjusts in size to fit a growing head for 3 years or so.

More than just a hat, this is a sun shade that takes its job seriously. The floppy and substantial brim offers stellar protection of the head, face, ears, neck and shoulders and it sheds water as easily as it deflects the sun.

Available in tones that are decidedly girlie and neutrals that work for everyone.
