The Story of Nammu: Sun Protection That Actually Swims
“When I couldn’t find it, I made it.”
Created by a mom, designed for active lives, and loved by everyone
Hi, I’m Atar, the creator of Nammu Hats.
The idea for Nammu didn’t start in a boardroom; it started at the pool with my three active kids. Like any mother, I was diligent about sun safety, but I soon realized that while their bodies were covered, their heads were completely vulnerable.
This became imperative for me when I discovered sun spots on my oldest son’s scalp. I searched everywhere for a solution, but the options were frustrating:
-
Baseball caps got heavy and soggy.
-
Wide-brim hats flopped over their eyes the moment they started to play.
-
Everything else floated away the second they dove into the water.
I needed a solution that was UPF 50+ safe, comfortable for all-day wear, and secure enough to stay on during a cannonball. Crucially, it had to look cool—otherwise, my boys simply wouldn’t wear it.
When I realized the perfect hat didn’t exist, I decided to make it myself.
