Do all of these hats have an Insect Shield? One retailer sells one that specifies that, but for a higher price.

The hat does not have an insect shield for the mesh. Like the other responses, I love the hat and highly recommend it

Not sure of what an insect shield consists but none of the hats I have purchased has anything that would work as a shield. If a vendor is selling such, it might be an after market add on or a recent modification by the manufacturer.

The hat does not contain an insect shield. Very well made and would recommend it.

Tilley does have one hat with Insect Shield, but this one does not have that feature.

No. Mine didn't come with an insect shield. I've had it for over a year, but couldn't imagine that that they have started including a shield with every hat. (I LOVE my hat, by the way.)

I'm pretty sure insect shield is a repellant made into the fabric. One has it, one doesn't.

No, you must to buy the shield in another store. I bought in this link The Avengers Captain America Child Shield

The "insect shield" is just a repellent of some kind. I paid extra for it, because I was going into some tropical swamps in Trinidad, and figured it would be worth it. Didn't make a difference - mosquitoes still swarmed around my head. Obviously, they can't get through the net, but it certainly didn't "hide" me, which is basically what repellent is supposed to do. Down there, even 98% DEET repellent only works for a few hours. The mosquitoes are larger, brutal monsters, different from our mosquitoes in northern Wisconsin. Basically, don't pay extra for the insect shield, because it makes no difference (at least in a tropical swamp). In the north-woods with normal mosquitoes, maybe it would make a difference.

They do have one according to their website at a slightly higher list price and not in all the same colors. Specifically not in the high-visibility yellow which is what I wanted.

Hi - The 'insect shield' refers to the mosquito net having been pre-treated with an insect repellent spray (usually the spray called Permethrin). Using this type of bug spray on clothing, gear, etc. is safer (less damaging to clothing/fabric) than products that contain Deet. Search for the Sawyer Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent Trigger Spray to read more about this type of product. If you are going hiking into the deep woods or in areas where there is a chance for high insect contact, getting the insect shield is worth it. You could, however, also buy the permethrin separately and just spray the mosquito net on your own to give it the same protection. Generally, the permethrin product will last on clothing/fabric for up to six machine washes. It really all depends on what you're using the net for and whether or not there is value in buying something like the product Permethrin separately so you can use it more often and use it on other items beyond the netting. Personally, I purchased the one with the insect shield (and also purchased a separate bottle of Sawyer's Permethrin) because I knew I would need it during some hikes that I was doing. The pre-treated version really helped repel the bugs so I could wear the net with a baseball hat comfortably (and it still covered my neck - with a brimmed hat, it was a bit tight at covering my entire neck) and the insects were not buzzing right next to the net that was near my ears - they were at a few inches distance, so it made the hiking much more comfortable. Here is a great product description on permethrin that will answer your questions - I cannot tell you how much this insect shield net (and the Permethrin on my clothing) made my outdoor activities much more enjoyable: http://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Permethrin-Clothing-Repellent-24-Ounce/dp/B001ANQVYU/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1352169355&sr=1-1&keywords=bug+spray+for+clothes Hope this helps answer your question!

No it does not unfortunately but I am getting ready to try a sonic repellent that costs about $60.00 but it has a 45 day money back guarantee and there was a lot of positive feedback. Just go on line to goodlife.com. the unit is called the Guardian, good luck! I hope it helps cause I have the same problem you do.

Sorry to sound harsh, but read all of the details of the item. If you scroll down to read it is all right there. It states that it does come with a black mesh cover

We receive these hats with some having strings, some not. Due to the large volume of orders we ship, we cannot ask our warehouse team to look to see if the hat will have the string or not.

Depends on the vendor. They should indicate clearly whether it comes with one or not. If not, usually there are links to find one. The original issued case sells for ~$5. So you shouldn't see anything higher than that in price. If you do, don't bother with it.

No and I wish it did. I don't recall seeing one sold as an accessory either.

The helm is level related I believe, so it works with any jobs under the level cap listed on the helmet description. Aside from that, the extra $20 is mainly cosmetic.

Yes, it does. I'm not sure why some people said no, but each one of mine came in an individual sleeve with a cap.

No. I only got one hat also. It is misleading that it says "12 pack"! It's not a costume hat. The package states, "Compliant with ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2009 Type 1, Class E."

Sorry...answered the wrong question! The antennae does not come with the center mast. You can purchase hat separately from Amazon.
