“This hat is the answer to oily bug control products-I don't need them now! The ventilation helps, too, since it is humid, hot and buggy where we live. I read the reviews and ordered a medium, despite my head measurement falling at the high point of medium and the low of the large size. It fits perfectly since the hat runs big, but there is a drawstring for those with smaller heads. Would love more selection in color but the bugs don't care-they are GONE!”
“This hat is very comfortable in very hot weather. It provides excellent sun and tick protection. I have a small head - size 6 7/8 hat. This hat in S/M is actually a bit big for me. However, the hat is adjustable and I just pulled the elastic tight and pulled the hat down so it covers the top of my ears a bit. It stays on very well. After gardening, no ticks on my head since I got this hat.”
“I was worried this wouldn't fit my pin head but the adjustment tie works great and it fits fine! The hat is light so doesn't get real hot like a baseball cap. I hate wearing hats but you need to so the deer and horse flys don't get in your hair. It also gives nice sun protection in the yard.”
“As a garden, kayak and outdoor lover, in the past I’ve had to abandon my work and play at times due to black flies and mosquitos. I recently purchased this hat and love it! I can spend hours being outside no matter how buggy it may be. The pests truly stay away from my face and neck so I’m not even aware they’re around. Plus, it’s a really cute hat and super comfy even on hot days! Thank you for all your outdoor wear!”
“I got one for my husband for his birthday...and threw one in for myself as well. We walk in the woods all the time, so thought it was worth trying for the summer black fly season. I tried mine yesterday for the first time, and it was as if the hat created an invisible field around my face that prevented the flies from dive bombing against my cheeks and mouth and hitting my eyes, which is what they typically do. Only one fly hit my face, throughout the 4-mile walk, although they were flying all around and past quite close to me. So I think that this hat...along with the insect shield shirt I got--will get me walking in the woods again during fly and mosquito season!”
“I highly recommend this hat for the obvious benefit of repelling insects. Bugs stay away from my hair and face, and it protects me from the Sun. This fashionable, odor-free insect repellant hat couldn't offer a more perfect solution for my outdoor activities, especially when I walk through a swarm of gnats. It's lighweight, packable, and comfortable. The drawstring keeps it on my head, even in the wind. I plan to order one for my husband.”
“My packable hat is light weight and easily foldable. It has a broad brim to provide great sun protection for face and neck, and really does keep the mosquitoes, gnats and other insects away from my face. My head measured exactly 23 inches, so I bought the S/M size, and it fits perfectly. The venting also keeps the hat cool during warm weather. I really like it and highly recommend it.”
