A retractable hood or canopy attaches to the top portion of an internal or external backpack frame. Preferably, one or more exterior solar panels are mounted on the top of the hood and power one or more electric fans which cool the head of the backpacker while hiking.

Mosquito netting is attached along the lower frame of the hood using hook and loop fastener material. An optional atomizing feature provides a further cooling effect to the head of a user by directing water onto the head of the user in the form of a cooling mist.
