“I love the great outdoors, but I am a very tasty snack for biting bugs. In addition, I have fair skin and I am easily sunburned. Insect Shield hats are a necessity for outside activities! The”
“I measured to figure out which size to order (S/M). It fits well and is very comfy. It will be super in the tropical heat we now have in Kentucky. Where I garden it's very wet and swarming with mosquitoes all summer long. Ticks are a significant problem as well in the piles of leaf litter. Since I frequently have treatment for pre-cancerous spots on my face, the SPF 50 factor is also key. Along with the comfy drawstrings pants, long sleeve shirt, button up shirt, socks and this hat, all from Insect Shield, I will be well protected year round.”
“I had a hat I had bought many years ago locally. I wanted to get another one for vacations as I used mine for around the house. Found your website and was able to order one close to the style I had. I like that they are very lightweight. The other morning my husband and I were on our walk and the bugs were all around his head. None near me! He then asked about mine. He is a convert!”
“This hat is the answer to oily bug control products-I don't need them now! The ventilation helps, too, since it is humid, hot and buggy where we live. I read the reviews and ordered a medium, despite my head measurement falling at the high point of medium and the low of the large size. It fits perfectly since the hat runs big, but there is a drawstring for those with smaller heads. Would love more selection in color but the bugs don't care-they are GONE!”
“This hat is very comfortable in very hot weather. It provides excellent sun and tick protection. I have a small head - size 6 7/8 hat. This hat in S/M is actually a bit big for me. However, the hat is adjustable and I just pulled the elastic tight and pulled the hat down so it covers the top of my ears a bit. It stays on very well. After gardening, no ticks on my head since I got this hat.”
“I was worried this wouldn't fit my pin head but the adjustment tie works great and it fits fine! The hat is light so doesn't get real hot like a baseball cap. I hate wearing hats but you need to so the deer and horse flys don't get in your hair. It also gives nice sun protection in the yard.”
“As a garden, kayak and outdoor lover, in the past I’ve had to abandon my work and play at times due to black flies and mosquitos. I recently purchased this hat and love it! I can spend hours being outside no matter how buggy it may be. The pests truly stay away from my face and neck so I’m not even aware they’re around. Plus, it’s a really cute hat and super comfy even on hot days! Thank you for all your outdoor wear!”
“I got one for my husband for his birthday...and threw one in for myself as well. We walk in the woods all the time, so thought it was worth trying for the summer black fly season. I tried mine yesterday for the first time, and it was as if the hat created an invisible field around my face that prevented the flies from dive bombing against my cheeks and mouth and hitting my eyes, which is what they typically do. Only one fly hit my face, throughout the 4-mile walk, although they were flying all around and past quite close to me. So I think that this hat...along with the insect shield shirt I got--will get me walking in the woods again during fly and mosquito season!”
