Kocotree Empty Shawl Hat is a revolutionary sun protection accessory designed for children's outdoor adventures, seamlessly blending robust functionality with playful charm. Upholding the brand's unwavering commitment to children's health and safety, both TiO2 UV-blocking factors and cooling agents are woven directly into the yarn fabric. This results in a yarn-based protective fabric that offers an impressive UPF of 83 and a cooling coefficient of 0.23, delivering a refreshingly cool sensation. Remarkably, even after undergoing 1,000 washes, its protective capabilities remain uncompromised. Moreover, a high-performance sweatband paired with micro-vented fabric wicks moisture to the surface, achieving Level 4 quick-dry properties (as verified after 1,000 washes) to keep the forehead dry and comfortable. Strategic mesh panels prevent heat buildup, allowing children to fully enjoy outdoor activities. To deliver safer and purer antibacterial performance, this hat utilizes photon broadband irradiation technology to permanently alter the yarn's molecular structure. This creates a "super-powered antibacterial shield" that far exceeds 7A-grade antibacterial standards even undergoing 1,000 wash cycles. Unlike traditional chemical-treated antimicrobial solutions, this innovative approach ensures absolute safety for even infant skin contact.

Kocotree Empty Shawl Hat features an open-top design paired with an oversized brim and attachable shawl, complemented by cooling arm sleeves, to deliver 360° sun protection. Vibrant color-blocking detailing and heat-transfer prints add playful charm. The windproof strap features a safety smart-release buckle, paired with safety whistle, demonstrating the comprehensive approach to children's outdoor safety.
