WHERE THE EXPLORER SHINES

The mosquito net is the feature that separates the Explorer from every other sun hat. In bug-heavy environments — marshlands, river fishing, tropical hikes, backcountry camping — a bug net hat is the difference between a productive day and a miserable one. The Explorer's net is fine enough to stop no-see-ums and mosquitoes, not just the big stuff. When the bugs clear out, the net zips away cleanly so it's not in your face.

SUN PROTECTION AT ALTITUDE

UV radiation increases by roughly 10% for every 1,000 meters of elevation gain. Hikers and climbers face significantly higher UV exposure than sea-level outdoor activities. The Explorer's wide brim creates a 360-degree shade barrier that blocks over 98% of UV radiation — no sunscreen required on covered skin. Pair it with GearTop's free SunUp UV Safety App for real-time UV index data and personalized burn time alerts wherever you are on the trail.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
