Had one already that is GOOD
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- Large I think
Happy to have found hat as it keeps out those pesky buffalo gnats! And it is long enough that generally speaking the gnats don't manage to get IN from the bottom! Also, this is our 2nd hat like this and SO happy with the first one which needed to be washed and it washed up GREAT!!!D

One Dimensional For Buggy Conditions Only.
I was hoping this bucket hat would provide sun, bugs and light precipitation protection. Bug protection only! Bug netting does not wear properly under the brim when it is not used and with no chin strap the hat is not secure for windy conditions. Trying to avoid the wider brim hats for thru hiking, however it seems unavoidable.

Gets pretty wrinkly when packed down
I like this hat and it definitely helps when you're somewhere really buggy- my only complaint is when you pack it down (it holds into itself to be about the size of a sunglass case) it get's really wrinkly and the hat can look kind of lopsided. That being said you're not wearing this hat for fashion so that's probably ok.

Pleasant surprise
Yes, this works! Sun protection to accompany the bug protection.

Buzz Off Bugs!
Works well! Easy simple way to enjoy the woods without dousing your head in bug spray. I need to buy one for my entire family because we all fight over wearing this hat!

Great fly fishing addition
The item runs big and the netting isn't the easiest to see through. Though most net products are similar I believe.

Solid hat
The hat was lightweight and I didn't feel too stuffy with the net deployed. The self stuffing feature is definitely handy for low volume packing. My only gripe is the fit. Wouldn't mind a tighter fit or adjustability, but with a buff around the head, it fits snug and absorbs less of my sweat. Solid hat overall and would recommend to anyone going into a big heavy environment.

Tested and performed well in Jungle
Wore this in humid temps in Central America. Breathable and kelts bugs away. Highly recommend for specific situations where there are large amounts of bugs.

Underrated piece of gear
If you do any kind of outdoors activity in warm/warm-ish weather then this is something you should have in your gear pack. It's light and packable enough to just stow in the bottom of a bag all the time to have handy when bugs eventually appear.
