“A sturdy hat made of heavier canvas than you'd expect. A slight bit larger than most baseball-style caps, but that's good coverage for this practical item. Great for repelling bugs while gardening and on the water. More colors would be nice...”
“This hat fits all my requirements. It is comfortable, has a secure adjustable fit, provides good shade, but most importantly and seemingly magically, none of the black flies, biting midges, deer flies, or mosquitos that buzz around dare to land on my head, neck, or face while I am wearing it. I feel protected from ticks as well. This hat makes being outdoors much more comfortable.”
“I live on 167 wooded acres in the crown of Maine. Our state bird is a toss-up between the black fly and the mosquito and our state insect is the deer tick. I bought this cap hoping it would be somewhat effective but thinking I'd have to add a bug net, too. Nope, it's 100% effective on it's own. I can see and hear the critters buzzing around my head but I've not had a bite even when I've been bushwacking. Well done!”
