7 Sustainable Dad Hats For Blocking Out Summer Sun

Billed, Brimmed, & Baseball Caps For Summer Style 🧢

Dad jokes may be out, but dad hats are for sure in this summer. As we gear up for weekend camping, glamping, and backpacking, we’re throwing on these effortless caps to keep us cool and sunburn-free. Plus, all these dad hats are crafted with eco-friendly materials, and many of the brands support environmental initiatives, too.

If you’re team-wide-brim, don’t worry⁠—we have bucket hat and sun hat recommendations, too! And as you head out there, don’t forget a pair of sunnies for even more shade.
