Product Overview
The Beechfield Wide Brim Sun Hat is a technically accomplished piece of headwear designed for professionals who spend significant time exposed to the elements. Constructed from 100% certified recycled nylon, this hat provides a sustainable solution for outdoor work without compromising on protective performance. Its primary function is to offer substantial shade and protection against UV radiation, while the water-repellent finish ensures that unexpected British showers do not disrupt your schedule.
Key Features
- UPF50+ Sun Protection: This rating indicates the fabric blocks the vast majority of harmful UV radiation, protecting the wearer during long shifts in direct sunlight.
- Wide-Brimmed Design: The extended brim provides enhanced shade for the face, ears, and neck, reducing glare and heat exhaustion.
- Adjustable Chin Strap: A necessary addition for maintaining a secure fit in windy conditions, ensuring the garment remains in place even during active tasks.
- Water-Repellent Fabric: The technical coating allows moisture to bead off the surface, keeping the wearer dry during light rain.
- TearAway Label: This feature allows for easy rebranding, making it an excellent choice for businesses looking to apply bespoke internal labelling.
Design & Performance
Engineered for comfort and durability, the use of 100% certified recycled nylon results in a lightweight fabric that is breathable yet resilient. The fabric choice is particularly advantageous for those working in high temperatures, as it does not retain heat like heavier cotton alternatives. The construction is robust enough to withstand the rigours of daily outdoor use, while the wide brim is structured to maintain its shape over time, providing consistent protection.
The sustainability aspect is backed by Amfori BSCI and Certified Recycled accreditations, ensuring that your corporate social responsibility goals are met through your choice of workwear. It is a sophisticated marriage of eco-conscious material and practical, protective design.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This wide-brimmed hat is well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing for versatile branding options. For a traditional and durable finish, embroidery is recommended for company logos, providing a three-dimensional, high-quality appearance that withstands regular wear. The crown offers a stable surface for detailed thread work.
Alternatively, film or screen printing is an excellent choice for larger, more vibrant designs that need to stand out from a distance. Our in-house team, based in Telford since 1976, manages the entire customisation process, ensuring that your branding is applied with the precision required for a professional corporate image.
Use Cases
This hat is specifically designed for individuals working in industries such as landscaping, construction, site surveying, and event management. It is equally appropriate for outdoor hospitality staff or any professional role that requires extended periods of time outdoors in variable summer conditions. Its unisex design and one-size-fits-all approach make it a versatile addition to any uniform inventory.

Practical Advice
As a one-size-to-fit item, the inclusion of an adjustable chin strap is vital for ensuring the hat stays secure across different head sizes. When layering for outdoor work, this hat serves as the final protective layer against the sun and light rain. It is designed to be packable, though we recommend storing it flat where possible to maintain the integrity of the brim structure.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical properties of the fabric, including the UPF50+ rating and water-repellent finish, this hat should be sponge cleaned only. Submerging the garment in a washing machine or using harsh detergents can degrade the protective coatings and distort the brim's shape.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will damage the recycled nylon fibres and lead to discolouration. Similarly, do not tumble dry or iron this product, as high heat can melt the technical synthetic fibres and ruin any applied customisation. Simply wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
