Product Information

Full details

The Trekmates Borneo Hat is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who need reliable protection from both intense UV rays and pesky insects in challenging environments. The primary benefit of this hat is its versatile dual-protection system, featuring UPF 50+ fabric and an integrated, stowable mosquito-proof head net, though it should be noted that the extra material for the netting may add slight bulk to the crown compared to a standard sun hat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Internal pocket keeps the head net tidy when not in use
  • Dark underbrim effectively reduces eye strain from glare
  • Adjustable chin strap ensures the hat stays secure during movement
  • Easy to clean with machine-washable polyester fabric

Cons

  • The crown is thicker than standard hats due to the storage pocket
  • Specific sizing (L/XL) may not fit everyone perfectly without adjustment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the integrated net, simply open the internal pocket located inside the crown, pull out the mesh, and drape it over the brim. When finished, gently fold the mesh back into the pocket to maintain the hat's shape.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: The polyester construction is machine washable. Use a mild detergent and a gentle cycle.
  • Drying: Air dry the hat in a shaded area to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the mesh net. Avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the specialized material.
  • Storage: Store the hat in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or mildew, ensuring the head net is completely dry before stowing it in the internal pocket.
