I purchased this hat for my husband, who is an avid gardener. He tried several other hats that only provided minimal protection from insects. He tried other hats with detachable netting, but it always slips out of place while working and the pesky insects can easily get under the netting. This hat solves that problem with the netting sewn onto the rim (holding the netting in place)! The netting can be flipped up over the rim when it isn't needed. My husband and I highly recommend this hat!:)The hat is amazing. You drop the bug net and you can keep hiking or fishing no matter how thick the black flies are. It folds up to a tiny size so its easy to store and carry with you. It does get a little hot because its synthetic but its ok because you can just take if off once in a while to cool down. Once you get used to wearing the net bugs are no longer a factor. Be careful if you see a dog. Lift the net or they get scared.First, the good is that the hat does work to keep those incredibly annoying little flies out of my face and ears. However there are several aspects that could make this hat better.
1. The edge of the brim has a wire, which allows the hat to collapse or pop open like a car shade. This also prevents the brim from laying flat (think of the shape of a pringle).
2. The mesh is dark and somewhat hard to see through
3. The materials used have an intense odor of plastic or something chemical. Hopefully this will dissipate over time.
Overall, I'll take this product rather than the bugs, but at the same time, I would pay more for a hat that better suited my needs.
P.S. I wear a size 7 inch baseball hat and the medium in this hat fit fine.I originally was just going to buy a head net until I discovered this hat. This is a hat and net in one and folds up so its real convenient to keep in a bag just in case you need it. It looks nice enough and works great, and the hat can keep the sun off your head as a bonus.Perfect for keeping the insects from attacking the head, face, and neck -we live in a wooded area. Brim provides good space between face and netting. Easy to pull netting up and just wear hat. Folds easily for easy carrying.
