Description
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I wore the Helios Bug Hat during a buggy high-country hike, and the integrated mesh was a game-changer. It stows away cleanly when not needed and gives you full protection when the bugs come out."We’re not fans of swatting bugs or slathering on chemical repellents, so we grab the Helios Bug Hat to do the work for us. With UPF 50+ sun protection and a hidden mesh stow system for full bug coverage, this boonie-style hat is designed for long days in exposed and buggy terrain. Its wide brim offers generous shade while improved mesh integration makes deploying and stowing the bug net quick and simple. The breathable nylon dries fast and wicks moisture to keep us cool, while the adjustable chin strap keeps the hat secure when the trail turns breezy. From deep-forest hikes to alpine lake campsites, the Helios Bug Hat keeps our heads cool and bite-free.
