I wore one for the first time this year. It was really cool & comfy for the warm weather. Kept the sun off & breathed well. It was great the first trip, but didn’t smell as good the 2nd trip.

My wife and I are setting off for a few days over the upcoming holiday weekend, and counter to our usual strategy, we're thinking of leaving our car at our starting trailhead. We're setting off from

I noticed that too and picked one up and tried it out for a couple of hikes! I got it mostly for the UV protection on my neck and ears. They are comfortable and also helps keep the mosquitoes at bay
