Outdoor Research Helios Bug Hat

The Helios Sun Hat with Integrated Bug Net takes a bestselling favorite and adds built-in insect protection. Crafted with breathable, lightweight materials and UPF 50+ sun protection, this versatile hat shields you from both sun and bugs without adding bulk.

A hidden no-see-um mesh bug net is stored discreetly inside the crown, ready to deploy whenever insects appear. There’s no need to search through your pack—simply pull it down for instant head and neck coverage.

Designed for comfort in warm conditions, the Helios features a moisture-wicking TransAction™ headband, water-resistant fabric, and quick-drying performance. A floating foam-stiffened brim maintains structure and helps the hat stay afloat in water, while the dark fabric under the brim reduces glare.
