Eric Javits hats are unique as they have a special patented material that has SPF 50 and keeps out the UVA and UVB rays from the sun in order to really protect your skin.Stylish and comfortable, choose from the floppy straw hat, the visor, the squishee classic, the squishee cap, and more. I have had one of Eric Javits hats for over 10 years, it packs well and has never torn, a must for anyone who needs the ultimate skin protection!
