Columbia Skien Valley Booney Insect Shield Hat - Dark Stone
Lightweight trekking hat in Dark Stone color, designed with a wide brim to shield the skin against harmful UV rays. The design incorporates an additional face cover constructed from dense mesh for enhanced protection.
Incorporating advanced Insect Shield technology, the hat’s fabric is permanently treated with permethrin insecticide to ward off insects. The formula helps to minimize the risk of insect bites, remaining undetectable, scent-free, and safe for direct skin contact. Registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Recycled polyester, ventilation holes
Constructed from abrasion-resistant recycled polyester, the hat ensures durability in demanding conditions. The fabric remains lightweight and dries rapidly, enhancing comfort during high-intensity activities. Integrated ventilation holes support optimal airflow and effective moisture management.
Cord with stopper, detachable face shield
A cord equipped with a stopper at the crown provides precise adjustment to fit the head circumference. On the inside, a specialized face shield constructed from a dense mesh has been integrated. The shield stays securely in place with snap fasteners, and when not needed, it can be stowed in an internal pocket without compromising overall comfort.

Insect Shield is a technology used in Columbia clothing that permanently integrates the insecticide permethrin into the fabric fibers. This provides long-lasting protection against insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and black flies. The advantage of this technology is that it is invisible and odorless, which means that the clothing retains its natural look, breathability, and comfort. The technology has been registered by the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is safe for users.

It saved my life while fishing. It protects well against both the sun and mosquitoes without using chemicals. The mesh is nice, doesn't obstruct the view, and is quite durable against accidental tearing.

The hat in the picture looks like it is a bit stiffer. It's comfortable to wear, nothing bit me by the lake, but there weren't conditions for a thorough test. The mosquito net is dense. After folding, it actually fits into the inner compartment, but in my case, I feel a decrease in comfort when wearing the hat. It's hard to adjust the hat to the circumference of your head because the only thing there is to adjust is a drawstring with a stopper, probably just to keep the wind from blowing it off your head. Overall, I'm satisfied, but it could have been better.

A good option for protection against insects without using chemical preparations. The hat itself is comfortable and well made, and when needed, you just unfold the net and you're ready.
