Quick take
Nylon fishing hat with attached mosquito mesh and stowable neck flap for sun and bug protection.
This is a sun hat with a mesh bug net and a stowable neck flap, made for long days on the water, trails or in the garden. The shell and flap are nylon with a water and stain resistant treatment, and the net is polyester mesh. A drawstring closure lets you snug the fit, and it goes in the washing machine when it needs a clean.
Best for
- Summer fishing in areas with heavy mosquitos
- Extended time on the water in sun and bugs
- Anglers who prefer not to apply insect repellent
Skip if
- You fish in cool weather; the mesh creates wind noise
- You prefer minimalist gear
Strengths
- Integrated mesh keeps mosquitos and flies completely away
- Stowable neck flap extends coverage without permanent bulge
- UPF 50+ material blocks harmful UV rays
- Machine washable nylon is easy to clean
Trade-offs
- Mesh reduces visibility around head periphery
- Head feels warmer with both hat and mesh in summer
- Stowable flap adds weight at the back
