In-Depth Review
Sun Protection for the High Desert
Whether you are parking your rig in the Mojave or hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, sun protection is non-negotiable. Jungmaven’s Utility Boonie Hat is constructed from a proprietary blend of hemp and organic cotton. Hemp is the ultimate regenerative crop—it requires no pesticides, uses little water, and actually returns nutrients to the soil.
This hat is designed for the long haul. The fabric is naturally antimicrobial, meaning it stays fresh longer between washes—a critical feature for those with limited laundry access. The wide brim provides 360-degree shade, while the adjustable chin strap ensures it stays put in high-wind environments.
| Material | Eco-Impact |
|---|---|
| Industrial Hemp | Carbon Negative Growth |
| Organic Cotton | No synthetic pesticides |
| Non-toxic Dyes | Safe for groundwater |
Jungmaven’s mission is to get everyone into hemp by 2020 (a goal they've carried forward). Their supply chain focuses on reducing the environmental load of the textile industry, which is one of the world's largest polluters.
Pros
- ✓Naturally antimicrobial
