Get Protected By Shielding Yourself With Wallaroo Hats

It’s finally time to get smart about sun protection. You can still have a beautiful sun-kissed glow but you have to be proactive about protection. Have you thought about the long term affects that too much sun exposure can cause? I’m sure everyone knows about applying sunscreen in the summer, you carry it in your purse, in your glove box and maybe you even cover up with a large sun hat and wrap. Sure, in the summer everyone thinks about sun protection.

            But have you thought about it during the winter months? Most people forget about sunscreen, thinking that if they can’t see the sun that it isn’t doing any harm. However some of the most powerful rays are the ones that don’t even break through cloud cover.  They all do damage, whether you can see the sun or not.  And according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, the majority of skin cancers are almost always preventable with proper protection.

            That ‘s why Colorado based hat company Wallaroo hats has designed a collection that is made for just that reason. Enter, the “W” collection by Wallaroo. The hats themselves are made from canvas, microfiber, cotton twill, and poly-straw, this in return makes a majority of the hats washable, crushable and versatile for everyday wear. The best part about the entire Wallaroo line is that each hat shields up to 97.5% of UPF rays. That’s a UPF 50+ rating. The highest protection rating available.  The “W” Collection isn’t just for the avid outdoor adventurist. The “W” Collection was made for every woman out there.

              The hats are so stylish that you would never think that they were made for the most part, to protect against the sun. The fact that the collection is so fashionable and wearable is an added plus. In fact the hats are so stylish that celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner and Brooke shields have all been seen sporting them.

  When I saw the collection online I knew I had to find out more about the company. The Colorado based, Wallaroohats, was founded by Stephanie Carter and Lenya Shore in 1999 after a trip they took to Australia, where they discovered the Aussie secret to sun protection. When they returned to America and couldn’t find a similar product, let alone one that was super stylish these two entrepreneurs sat down to launch a company that would not only protect against skin cancer, but one that was so fashion forward that any woman would wear one and wear it proudly. What makes the company that much easier to get behind, they have committed to help eradicate skin cancer by donating 1% of their profits to skin cancer research, education and prevention.

I was so excited when wftr had the chance to score one of the new hats from the “W” collection that I wrote up a quick giveaway for it last week. Well, the hat finally arrived today! Wallaroo hats did not disappoint. WFTR received the “SIMONE” hat in a dark charcoal. It is accented with a cute black button with pink and yellow yarn running through it. The Simone hat is laid back, and styled after a traditional newsboy cap and it looks extremely comfortable. I wish I could keep it for myself, but I wont.

I am a huge proponent of spreading skin cancer awareness, protection and prevention. Especially since skin cancer runs in my family, I know how important it is to stay well protected. I am thrilled Wallaroo hats landed in the U.S. and on my doorstep today. If you’d like more information about Wallaroo hats please visit www.wallaroohats.com or by clicking the link in the article.
