The Tula Women’s Laurel Black Band Hat is not just a stylish accessory; it is your ultimate companion for sun protection and outdoor adventures. This beautifully crafted hat combines functionality with elegance, ensuring you look great while safeguarding your skin from harmful UV rays. With a wide 4-inch brim, this hat has been tested by the California Polytechnic University Textile Laboratory and is rated with an outstanding UPF 50+ sun protection. This means that sunlight will not penetrate the hat, effectively keeping your skin shielded during those sunny days.

Crafted from 100% natural palm fiber, the hat embodies sustainability. The palm fiber is sourced from the warm coastal regions of Mexico, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Additionally, Tula believes in fair trade practices, collaborating with artisan milliners from Mexico who have a rich history of over 500 years in hat weaving. This partnership ensures that artisans receive fair wages and work in safe conditions, promoting economic growth in their communities.

One of the standout features of the Tula hat is its packable and durable design. The palm material is pliable, allowing you to pack the hat in your suitcase without worrying about damage. You can stuff clothing around the crown, and it will retain its shape once you take it out. This makes it a perfect travel companion for beach trips, music festivals, or garden outings. Furthermore, the hat is naturally water-resistant. The overlapping layers of braided palm provide a barrier against light rain, so you can enjoy your day without concern. If it does get wet, simply let it dry naturally and reshape it as needed.

While enjoying those sun-filled days, remember the importance of sun protection. Water, sand, snow, and pavement can all reflect sunlight, intensifying UV exposure. Therefore, it is essential to wear sunblock in addition to your hat. Keep in mind that since this hat is handmade from natural materials, no two hats are identical. There may be slight variations in color, weave, and brim size, adding a unique charm to each piece.
