Anyone have a recommendation for a sun hat that their kids will wear? My pale redhead kids are in 4th and 2nd grade. We're headed to Hawaii next month and I want to spend as little time fighting about hats and sun protection as possible.

My DD is 8 and wears this sunhat the most. She likes how it fits and I like how easily it adjusts and how much coverage it has. https://a.co/d/iEgpJ1P
She also has this one because she wanted one with a ponytail opening. She doesn't like it as much but does wear it occasionally. https://a.co/d/cu8mhVL
Another big thing we do for sun protection is have her wear a rash guard for all sorts of outdoor adventures. A short sleeve rash guard keeps her shoulders and chest well protected from the sun and then I don't have to get as much sunscreen on her.

I don't have a hat recommendation, but I'll echo the rash guard/sun shirt suggestion. I got my girls some lightweight UPF shirts last year that made such a difference for us.

Another recommendation for the Sunday Afternoon hats, they are the best. And rash guards/upf clothing when possible. Have fun!

Thanks for the recommendations on the rash guards. I'm a big rash guard fan. Fortunately I had a doctor recommended a rash guard to me in college before a trip to the South Pacific and I've been a rash guard evangelist ever since. I've even expanded to swim pants/leggings for the family because it's easier than sunblock. We'll see long my 9 year old will agree to that.
I've had less luck convincing the kids to wear their hats. They have Sunday Afternoon hats and I agree they're awesome functionally but the kids want more stylish hats.
I decided to let the kids shop for their own hats hoping they would pick something they would wear. These are their top contenders
7 year old boy picked a white fedora

I love their picks! If you want to steer them towards spf hats and depending on budget, Wallaroo offers more stylish options and I have worn them for years, they hold up well. Here is a link to the kids section but they may be able to wear small adult hats?
