  • In the garden, where extra coverage helps during longer sessions outside
  • At school and sports events, a kid's legionnaire hat helps cover extended time outdoors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a legionnaire hat and a regular sun hat?

A legionnaire hat has a flap at the back that covers your neck and often your ears, while a regular sun hat relies solely on a brim for shade. That flap gives more direct protection to areas that tend to get missed, particularly the back of the neck, during long hours outside.

Are OZ Smart neck flap hats suitable for outdoor work?

Absolutely. They’re a practical choice for outdoor work because they cover the back of your neck and stay in place during movement. This added coverage aligns with recommendations for high UV conditions, especially on job sites.

Can the neck flap be removed or folded away?

Many styles include a removable or fold-away flap, so you can adjust the coverage as needed. It gives you a bit more flexibility across different conditions.

Do these hats come in kids’ sizes?

They do, and they’re commonly used for school, sports and outdoor play since they help protect areas children often miss with sunscreen. Our kids' legionnaire hats are great for spending time outside.

Are neck flap hats UPF 50+ rated for sun protection?

Yes, they are. OZ Smart neck flap hats use UPF 50+ rated materials that block over 98% of UV rays, giving you reliable protection when you’re out for extended periods.
