“Bought these for me and my three boys, one of whom tested it on a mission trip to Zambia, and said that he basically never took it off, except when sleeping. We all then tested them in northern Wisconsin, where the mosquitoes were particularly hungry. In all cases, the hats performed flawlessly and as advertised. Bugs of all kinds literally bounced off of them. They were comfortable, well-ventilated, and effective. Don’t leave home without them unless the weather is below 32 degrees and all bugs are already dead.”
“Bought the hat for a trip to the north woods of Minnesota and it did not disappoint. Very comfortable, good airflow through the mesh panels, and excellent at keeping the bugs away - only had to pull out the mosquito netting once during the entire week. Followed that with a week in the Rocky Mountains at timberline and it was equally effective as a sun hat and still excellent at keeping the bugs away.”
“My husband and I walk everyday and there are certain areas where flies are very annoying.
My new “bug hat” seems to have an attraction for both bugs to land and then fly into my face.
My husbands Stetson anti bug hat has no such issues.
The new Insect Shield shirts seem to work fine.”
“Love this hat! I replaced a tired Columbia hat with this. It is cooler to wear, and I like how the brim holds its shape. And, of course, it has Insect Shield protection, which continues to impress me with its effectiveness. All my fishing clothes are now Insect Shield protected.”
