Worked great while fishing – effectively protects against the sun and mosquitoes without the need for chemical agents. The net is sturdy, does not restrict visibility, and is quite resistant to accidental damage.
Columbia Skien Valley Booney Insect Shield Hat - Dark Stone
Lightweight outdoor hat in Dark 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, odorless 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 crafted from robust recycled polyester. This lightweight, quick-drying fabric ensures excellent comfort during vigorous physical activities. Ventilation holes facilitate efficient air circulation and moisture management.
Cord with stopper, detachable face shield
A cord with a stopper positioned at the crown ensures a snug fit to the head. The hat's interior includes a mesh face shield that attaches using snaps. When not needed, it can be easily stored in a dedicated compartment without compromising comfort.

In the pictures, the hat appears stiffer, but it’s actually quite comfortable to wear. By the lake, I didn’t have any problems with insects, but it’s hard to call it a thorough test. The netting has fine mesh. When folded, it fits inside the hat, but then it loses a bit of comfort. The adjustment is limited to a drawstring with a stopper, which mostly protects against wind rather than precisely adjusting the size. Overall, I’m satisfied, although the product could be better.

A great alternative for fighting insects without the need for chemicals. The hat is comfortable, well-made, and when needed, you just unfold the net and you're all set.
