Founded in 1999, Wallaroo was inspired by the founder's experiences in Australia, where sun protection is paramount due to the threat of skin cancer. Upon returning to Colorado, the lack of emphasis on sun protection outdoors prompted the creation of functional, fashionable hats that are comfortable, packable, and easy to wear for all travels. Over two decades later, Wallaroo continues to innovate by developing custom fabrics and designs that enhance sun protection while maintaining style.
In 2013, Wallaroo became a Certified B Corporation®, joining a global community of companies dedicated to making positive social and environmental impacts. Their mission is to help eliminate the threat of skin cancer through information and prevention. As leaders in the sun-protective hat industry, Wallaroo takes this health threat seriously, ensuring their hats are tested and rated for UV radiation blocking capabilities. Customers are advised to check product descriptions for UPF ratings to suit their sun protection needs.
