Outdoor Research Insect Shield Cape Cap

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I used the Insect Shield Cape Cap on a summer backpacking loop in the Cascades—zero bites and no sunburn. The cape’s adjustability is perfect for changing conditions, and it’s light enough that I barely notice it on."Swarming bugs and blazing sun don’t stand a chance with the Insect Shield Cape Cap. Designed for ultimate trail protection, this ultralight cap blends full UPF 50+ coverage with long-lasting Insect Shield technology to repel mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting pests.
