Sea to Summit Ultra-Mesh Mosquito Head Net for Midges, No See-ums and Small Insects

If you are camping in the wilderness or fly fishing at dusk you have to have something like this to keep the mosquitoes off of you. It comes in a little pouch and you can put it on in seconds. Excellent must have purchase for backpackers, campers and fly fishermen.

They work well even for our tiny coastal no-see-ums. I don't like how much they obscure my vision but some visual loss is better than being bitten to death! They are very light-weight and reasonably well constructed. The one I purchased a few years ago is still in good shape after moderate use. I hope these two new ones will hold up as well.

There are a ton of these "nets" all over the internet that claim "ultra-fine" and blah blah..That term can be vague in definition. And if you read a lot of the reviews of those other nets, you will see folks complaining about how bugs are still getting through the net. They bought a 4-8 dollar net. You get what you pay for folks. This net here, I have extensively tested, and it holds back tiny house gnats and up. Now, I'm not sure about anything smaller than that, but even the baby gnats could not get in it, so it could very well work for almost everything. You can tell a GOOD solid net hole size when you put it on and after a time, you start to take notice the oxygen quality, I guess due to a combination of trapped Co2 and non-movement. These holes are extremely tiny, but be sure to allow the bottom of the net to hang loosely downward so that as you move, you release co2. But Stop a sec! Hold on, don't take this as a warning of danger, there is no danger here. You just may sense a different feeling if your sensitive to such things, being a diver as I am. Others will probably not even notice this. And besides, I doubt most people will go on a jog with this thing on their head. Or maybe you will, who knows. You will be FINE! Although I wouldn't suggest you attempt to sleep with it on, that might not be a smart thing to do, but whatever, you do you. And to point the finger at myself, I did actually fall asleep accidently with this net on, and was fine. Fishing does have it's up's and downs. -shrug.Anyhow, if you want to stop 'nearly' every flying thing from getting in your face, BUY THIS.

I purchased this when I walk through the woods, which I do a lot. This mesh gives me reassurance that any buzzing insect I hear will not alight on my face, collar area, or back of the neck. I currently use it with a baseball cap. The holes are small enough to prevent even the smallest insects from passing through. I gave it 4 stars because it is a bit hard to see through and sometimes I might look up and a gap forms at the front, bottom that could let a lucky insect inside.

I have 5 of these, one for every family member and a spare. They’re super light and compact, but are of much higher quality than the Coglands ones you may see at big box stores. Mosquitoes, nats, flies, they can be awful and ruin a trip, and spraying Deet on your face smells awful and melts your plastic sunglasses. This eliminates all of those issues and is reusable for years.

Ordered for a friend of mine, he loves it.

Self-explanatory use along with Sitka guard series clothing

This is the best face netting you can buy. Others are smaller and of lower quality. I was on a mountain in Colorado for a few days where flies were a constant annoyance, and this net was essential.
