Worked great while fishing – effectively protects against the sun and mosquitoes without the need for chemical agents. The mesh is solid, does not restrict visibility, and is quite resistant to accidental damage.
Columbia Skien Valley Booney Insect Shield Hat - Stone Green
Lightweight outdoor hat in Stone Green, equipped with a wide brim, which effectively shields the skin from harmful UV rays. In addition, the model features a dense mesh face shield, retractable inside the hat.
The product uses the innovative Insect Shield technology, which involves permanently imbuing the fabric with permethrin - an insect repellent. This solution reduces the risk of bites, without adversely affecting the comfort of the wearer. The substance is imperceptible, odourless and safe in contact with the skin. The technology has been registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Recycled polyester, ventilation holes
The hat is made of durable recycled polyester. The material is lightweight and quick-drying, which translates into high comfort during intense physical activity. Ventilation holes promote effective air exchange and moisture wicking.
Cord with stopper, detachable face shield
A cord with a stopper located at the top allows for a precise fit to the head. The inner part of the hat is equipped with a mesh face shield, which attaches with snaps. When not in use, it can be conveniently tucked into a special compartment, which does not limit the wearing comfort.

In the photos, the hat appears stiffer, but it’s actually quite comfortable to wear. I had no problems with insects by the lake, but it’s hard to call it a thorough test. The mosquito net has very fine mesh. When folded, it fits inside the hat, but then it loses a bit of comfort. Adjustment is limited to a drawstring with a stopper, which is more suitable for securing against the wind than for precise adjustment of the circumference. Overall, I’m satisfied, although the product could be better.

A great alternative for dealing with insects without the need to use chemicals. The hat is comfortable, well-made, and when necessary, you just unfold the net and you’re ready.
