What does UPF 100+ mean?

It is a fabric sun-protection rating well above the UPF 50 often quoted for clothing. It blocks most UV radiation that reaches the fabric.

Does it fold for travel?

Yes. The umbrella-style frame folds down so the hat stores compactly in a bag or suitcase.

The wide brim catches wind, so it is best worn with the chin strap or held on breezy days.

Yes. The wide brim shades the face and shoulders, which suits long beach and pool days.

It packs smaller and holds a wider, more even shade, but it is heavier and less breathable than straw.
