Skien Valley Booney Hat offers durable sun protection with insect repellency
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I took the Skien Valley Booney Hat on a multi-day hike, and it was a lifesaver. The Insect Shield® technology kept bugs away, and the built-in face net was super handy when the mosquitos got bad. Plus, the adjustable chin strap kept it secure even in windy conditions. It’s lightweight and packs down easily—great for any outdoor adventure."
When we're deep in the woods or trekking across sunny trails, the Skien Valley Booney Hat is our go-to for all-around protection. Crafted with Insect Shield® technology, it offers long-lasting defense against biting bugs, so we can focus on the journey rather than swatting away pests. The integrated face net snaps into place when needed and tucks away when the air is clear.
Built with recycled polyester, this hat is not only durable but also eco-friendly. The adjustable chin strap ensures a secure fit, whether we're hiking through dense forests or setting up camp. Its lightweight, packable design makes it easy to stow in our gear, ready for the next adventure.

HOW TO MAKE THIS A GREAT HAT!!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this hat - THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE TO IMPROVE IT: >The mesh should be black, the khaki colored mesh reflects TOO MUCH light and it difficult to see thru, I used a black marker on the front of mine, since window screens are black, enabling you to see through them, this mesh SHOULD BE BLACK ALSO. >The brim of the hat, in the front, at the very least, needs a shaping wire in the binding to give the wearer more control over how the brim flops over the front of their face - because the mesh pulls the sides of the front down and it impacts your forward vision.
