rHat with Fly Net – Premium UV50+ Sun & Insect Protection for Australia

If you’ve ever stood outdoors in Australia during fly season, you know the frustration. Flies hovering around your face. Crawling under sunglasses. Landing on your lips mid-conversation. And mosquitoes at dusk turning a peaceful evening into constant swatting.

Our Dreamtimez Hat with Fly Net is designed for exactly these conditions.

This is not a loose mesh add-on or a temporary head covering. It is a complete, purpose-built Fly Net Hat that combines UV50+ sun protection, breathable insect mesh, thoughtful features and authentic Indigenous artwork — all in one practical design.

Whether you’re farming, camping, hiking, fishing, caravanning or simply enjoying a backyard BBQ, this hat with fly net is built for real Australian life.

Why You Need a Hat with Fly Net in Australia

Australia’s climate is unique. Long hours of sun exposure, dry inland heat, humid tropical regions and high fly populations in rural and coastal areas.

A standard cap won’t protect your neck.
A basic wide brim hat won’t stop flies.
A separate mosquito net often shifts, lifts or allows insects inside.

A properly designed Fly Net Hat solves all three problems at once:

• Shields your face and neck from harsh sun exposure
  
  

• Creates a breathable barrier against flies and mosquitoes
  
  

• Stays secure during movement
  
  

The Dreamtimez hat with fly net is designed to deliver outdoor sun protection without discomfort or bulk.

What Makes Our Fly Net Hat Different?

Many retailers sell mesh nets. Some sell fashion fly nets. Others sell separate mosquito head nets designed to sit loosely over existing hats.

Dreamtimez designed a fully integrated solution.

Our Hat with Fly Net is:

✔ A structured wide brim sun hat
✔ Rated UV50+ for Australian conditions
✔ Fitted with fine breathable insect mesh
✔ Lightweight and travel-friendly
✔ Adjustable for comfort
✔ Designed with a pigtail opening
✔ Featuring authentic Indigenous artwork
✔ Paying royalties to artists on every sale

It is practical, purposeful and meaningful.

Designed for Harsh Australian Conditions

From sheep yards to tropical campsites, Australia presents demanding environments.

Our fly net hat has been worn in livestock yards where flies gather in large numbers. One farmer told us after a full day in the sheep yards:

“This hat is the best hat I’ve ever worn in the sheep yards. There were thousands of flies but not one on me.”

That is livestock work protection you can rely on.

At the same time, this is a travel-friendly sun hat suitable for grey nomads, families, hikers and everyday outdoor enthusiasts.

UV50+ Sun Protection – Why It Matters

Australia has some of the highest UV levels in the world. Prolonged exposure can cause sunburn and long-term skin damage.

Our UV50+ Fly Net Hat provides:

• Wide brim coverage for face and ears
  
  

• Neck coverage through extended brim design
  
  

• High-quality sun-protective fabric
  
  

• Lightweight breathability for hot conditions
  
  

You are protected not just from insects, but from the sun itself.

Built-In Breathable Mesh Head Net

The fine insect mesh is securely attached and gathered at the base for effective coverage.

Unlike loose mosquito head nets:

• It does not lift in wind
  
  

• It does not sit awkwardly
  
  

• It maintains airflow
  
  

• It folds neatly above the brim when not needed
  
  

This breathable mesh head net allows visibility and airflow while keeping flies and mosquitoes at bay.

When insects aren’t an issue, simply lift and secure the net above the brim.

Lightweight, Travel-Friendly and Easy to Pack

A common concern with outdoor gear is bulk.

Our Hat with Fly Net is lightweight and lays flat, making it an ideal packable outdoor hat for:

• Caravanning
  
  

• Outback travel gear
  
  

• International travel
  
  

• Hiking backpacks
  
  

• Camping trips
  
  

The structure maintains shape while remaining flexible enough to pack easily.

Grey nomads often tell us this has become one of their essential travel items.

Comfort and Fit

One Size Fits Most Adults

The hat includes an internal adjustable cord to customise fit securely.

This allows the fly net hat to suit most adult head sizes comfortably.

How to Measure Your Head

To ensure a comfortable fit:

1. Use a soft measuring tape.
   
   

2. Measure around the widest part of your head (just above eyebrows).
   
   

3. Compare to our sizing guide (if included on product page).
   
   

The adjustable internal cord allows minor size adjustments for comfort.

Pigtail and Ponytail Opening

Designed with real users in mind, the hat includes a rear opening that allows ponytails or pigtails to sit comfortably outside the hat.

This makes it particularly practical for:

• Walkers
  
  

• Hikers
  
  

• Runners
  
  

• Gardeners
  
  

• Outdoor workers
  
  

No more uncomfortable bunching of hair.

Hidden Velcro Pocket

A discreet pocket under the crown provides space for small essentials such as:

• A key
  
  

• A credit card
  
  

• A folded note
  
  

• Emergency cash
  
  

A small but thoughtful addition that many customers appreciate.
