Simms BugStopper SunShield Cap
The Simms BugStopper SunShield Cap is a technical fishing cap designed for anglers who spend long hours under intense sunlight and in areas with active insects. Combining UPF 50 sun protection with the proven effectiveness of Insect Shield® technology, this cap provides reliable protection and comfort during summer fly fishing.
Made from 100% Tactel® Nylon, the cap offers a lightweight and durable construction designed for active use on the water. The fabric features a Teflon® HT DWR water-repellent finish, helping protect against light moisture and splashes.
The Simms BugStopper SunShield Cap features an extended brim and an integrated neck shield that provides additional coverage for sensitive areas during prolonged sun exposure. This makes it especially suitable for open rivers, lakes and other environments without natural shade.
The integrated Insect Shield® technology provides long-lasting insect protection, making the cap particularly useful in areas with mosquitoes, midges and other biting insects.
The adjustable cord system allows a secure and personalized fit for different head sizes, providing comfort even in windy conditions and during active movement.
