Wallaroo was founded in 1999, when a Colorado couple was inspired by visits to the husband’s family in Australia, where the threat of skin cancer has long been understood. So much of their life in their home state was spent outdoors, yet the trend toward daily SPF and UPF clothing had yet to take hold in the US. Theirvision was to create functional, fashionable hats that are comfortable, packable, and effortless to wear—and to bring on all your travels. More than 25 years later, they’re still innovating by developing custom fabrics and everyday designs that make sun protection even more stylish. In addition to being a certified B Corporation (learn more here), the company gives 1% of its annual profits to skin cancer research, education, and prevention in the US.
