Kocotree Empty Shawl Hat is a children's outdoor sun-protective gear that combines safety with playful charm, allowing kids to roam freely under the scorching summer sun without worry. Crafted with the brand's proprietary fabric technology, its yarn is embedded with TiO2 light-blocking particles, achieving an outstanding UPF 83 sun protection that remains effective even after 1,000 washes, thus safeguarding delicate young skin. Meanwhile, cooling fibers woven into the core provide a 0.23 cooling coefficient (retained after 1,000 washes) for rapid heat dissipation. The wide brim blocks 48% of radiant heat and reduces temperatures by 11°C underneath, keeping outdoor adventures fresh and comfortable. The ultra-cool sweatband features a micro-porous yarn structure that quickly wicks moisture to the surface, keeping the forehead dry and comfortable. Even after 1,000 washes, it maintains a Level-4 absorption rate, ensuring that kids stay cool and irritation-free during play. Additionally, the open-top design, combined with an oversized brim and shawl, offers broader coverage and enhanced breathability, making it the perfect companion for sunny-day adventures.

The fabric undergoes photon broadband irradiation to realign its molecular structure, forming a "super-powered antibacterial shield". Even after 1,000 washes, it far exceeds 7A-grade antibacterial standards, effectively preventing bacterial infections and odor buildup.

The contrast-color open-top design features heat-transfer prints and a UV-reactive color-changing logo on the brim, blending playful aesthetics with real-time sun intensity indication. Enhanced by a safety smart-release buckle and safety whistle, every detail reflects thoughtful protection for outdoor adventures. Kocotree Empty Shawl Hat masterfully balances cutting-edge functionality and child-centric design, creating a safe, stylish, and joyful outdoor experience for kids.
