| What is the mechanical anti-mosquito solution used for the TROPIC 900 hat? |
the extra tight woven component used for the product acts as a mechanical barrier that limits mosquito bites when it is not pulled tight.
We chose a mechanical solution with permethrin-based impregnation (biocidal product) which is less toxic

| How effective is the mosquito net on the TROPIC 900 hat? |
The World Heath Organisation recommends at least 25 holes per cm² to stop mosquitoes effectively.
With 40 holes per sqcm, the mosquito net used on this hat won't let any through.
This net is untreated. |

Just make an "eight" with the edge of your hat and then fold it in half.
And... there you go! Place it in its specially-designed bag.
This tip will enable you to carry your hat in your rucksack or suitcase without damaging it. |
| How do you protect yourself in the areas that are prone to mosquitoes? |
If you are visiting an area with a high level of mosquitoes, we recommend you also use anti-mosquito spray, essential oil-based with lemon eucalyptus or even icaridin.
In fact, in some countries mosquitoes can be carriers of serious diseases such as chikungunya, dengue fever and even malaria. |
