For maximum protection from the frying sun and flying beasts, the ExOfficio BugsAway® Sol Cool™ Mesh Brim Hat has you covered. Bug-repelling mesh rolls into the headband when you're out of the insect zone. ExOfficio® developed the new BugsAway® Sol Cool™ technology to give you the ultimate in travel comfort and protection. Sol Cool™ Jade fabrics are cool to the touch, and SILVADUR™ activates silver ions in the presence of undesirable bacteria, helping eliminate odour. BugsAway® apparel is treated with Insect Shield®, giving you invisible, odourless protection just by putting on your clothes. The treatment is bound to fabric fibers, so it stays in your clothes—not on your skin—and lasts through 70 washes. Ants, flies, chiggers, midges, and ticks don't like it, and neither do mosquitoes, which can transmit insect-borne diseases such as Zika, Chikungunya, Dengue, and West Nile viruses.

WHY BUGSAWAY CLOTHING?

BugsAway® apparel with Insect Shield® technology is a revolutionary tool to aid you in the battle against insects that can carry insect-borne diseases. With odourless and invisible insect protection, the only way to tell it’s there is that the bugs aren’t biting. The built-in insect repellent Permethrin provides a carefree outdoor experience, letting you focus on your adventure, not the bugs.

COOLING TECHNOLOGY

Sol Cool uses Icefil® technology to keep you cool and comfortable in hot climates. The compound Xylitol, which occurs naturally in the birch tree, is woven into fabric. When it comes into contact with moisture like sweat, it reacts, creating a cooling sensation similar to mint gum. Xylitol can cool the skin surface up to 5°F.
