Outdoor Research Insect Shield® Bucket Hat

Sun and Bug Protection in One

The Outdoor Research Insect Shield® Bucket Hat delivers lightweight, breathable protection for hot, buggy days on the trail, on the water, or in the backcountry. Designed for high-sun and high-insect environments, this performance bucket hat combines UPF 50+ sun protection with built-in Insect Shield® technology for reliable coverage wherever you roam.

Constructed from bluesign® approved 100% nylon, the fabric is lightweight, breathable, and quick drying for comfort in warm conditions. Mesh crown venting promotes airflow to help regulate temperature, while the updated 2.75-inch brim provides structured shade for the face and neck.

An adjustable crown cinch ensures a secure, customizable fit, and the detachable chin cord helps keep the hat in place in windy conditions. A functional daisy chain detail adds versatility for small gear attachment. Durable, packable, and designed for all-season performance, this bucket hat is built to handle sun and insects with equal confidence.
