Outdoor Research Helios Bug Hat

The Helios Bug Hat from Outdoor Research is the ideal companion for anyone who enjoys spending time in nature, whether freeskiing, hiking, or canoeing. The 2026 model features an updated design and improved materials to offer you even more comfort and protection. The wide 3.3" brim at both the front and back provides optimal protection from the sun, while the UPF 50+ sun protection shields your skin from harmful UV rays. Thanks to the improved brim construction, the hat retains its shape even in windy conditions, and the removable, adjustable chin strap ensures a secure fit.
A special highlight of the Helios Bug Hat is the built-in insect net, which now features an improved storage function. This allows you to quickly deploy it when needed and stow it away to save space when not in use. The hat is made of bluesign®-certified nylon, which not only dries quickly but also wicks moisture away from the skin and is water-resistant. This ensures a comfortable fit, even during strenuous activities or light rain.
Whether you're exploring insect-filled trails or enjoying sunny outdoor adventures, the Helios Bug Hat offers lightweight and reliable protection so you can enjoy your outdoor activities without interruption.
