The BugsAway Breez’r Bucket Hat provides long-lasting, effective and convenient insect and sun protection. The lightweight nylon fabric is rated UPF 30+, and a terry sweatband wicks moisture. Permethrin, the active ingredient in Insect Shield®, is invisible, odorless, and tightly bonded to the fabric fibers, and lasts the expected lifetime of the garment (70 washes). It repels mosquitoes (including those carrying West Nile virus and malaria), ticks, ants, flies, chiggers and midges (no-see-ums). Insect Shield repellent lasts 70 washings.** Do Not Dry Clean**
