The hat works great during prolonged stays in the sun and outdoors. It is lightweight, breathable, and very comfortable even when worn all day. The wide brim protects well against the sun, and the Insect Shield technology is especially useful in the forest or by the water. The material dries quickly and handles use well. The Stone Green color looks natural and fits the outdoor vibe. A very practical and comfortable hat for trips into the wild.
Columbia Skien Valley Booney Insect Shield Hat - Stone Green
Lightweight Stone Green hiking hat designed with a wide brim for effective protection against harmful UV rays. The model is equipped with an extra face shield crafted from durable mesh.
Engineered with advanced Insect Shield technology, the hat’s fabric is permanently treated with permethrin insecticide to offer superior defense against insects. The formulation helps minimize bite risks while remaining invisible, fragrance-free, and safe for skin contact. Approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Recycled polyester, ventilation holes
Constructed from abrasion-resistant recycled polyester, the hat offers a lightweight build and rapid-drying properties, enhancing comfort during demanding physical tasks. Strategically placed ventilation holes ensure optimal air flow and effective moisture management.
Cord with stopper, detachable face shield
An adjustable cord with a stopper at the crown enables precise fitting of the hat to the wearer's head circumference. On the interior, a dedicated face shield constructed from dense mesh is integrated. The shield’s secure fit is maintained with snaps, and when not engaged, it tucks seamlessly into an internal pocket without compromising comfort during wear.

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.
