Hiking Safely Under the New Zealand Sun
New Zealand’s clear skies and high UV levels make sun protection a vital part of every outdoor adventure. A good hiking sun hat is just as important as sunscreen, sturdy shoes, and enough water in your pack. Wide brims help shade your face and neck, while neck-flap styles give added coverage on exposed ridgelines or riverbeds.
Handy Hints for Sun Safety While Hiking
- Check the UV index before you head out: Visit NIWA’s UV Index to see when UV levels are highest during the day.
- Time your walks: If possible, plan longer rest stops or shaded breaks between 11am and 4pm when UV levels peak.
- Layer your protection: A sun hat works best alongside sunglasses, sunscreen, and light long-sleeve clothing.
- Stay hydrated: Carry enough water and drink regularly, as strong sun and heat can quickly lead to dehydration.
- Choose the right fit: Hats with adjustable straps or chin cords are ideal for windy ridge tops and exposed tracks.
Whether you prefer a classic bucket hat, a camo style for hunting trips, or a women’s design with a ponytail hole, our collection is made to keep you safe and comfortable while exploring New Zealand’s great outdoors.
