Head Nets and Hats

Store Top | Insect Protection | Insect Repellent Clothing | Head Nets and Hats

Head Nets work very well in combination with insect repellents to double your defences, but they can also be used quite effectively on their own in low risk areas, thereby allowing you to use less insect repellent - not always a pleasant thing to be smearing around your face!

A Head Net can also help enormously to improve the quality of life when you're under sustained attack from biting insects....

Bug Proof Mosquito Head Net - Treated

The Bug Proof Mosquito Head Net can be worn on its own, although it's probably better to wear it over a hat to keep it away from your face. It is proof against mosquitoes and flies and the draw cord around the bottom can be used to ensure complete protection. It is treated with Permethrin - an insecticide that can kill insects on contact - and it can be retreated with Bug Proof Clothing Treatment as and when required.

Ideal for travelling or working in tropical and sub-tropical areas where there is a likelihood of sustained attrack by mosquitoes. Also good for protection from flies when horse treking.

Care Plus Mosquito Head Net - Untreated

The Care Plus Mosquito Head Net, can be worn on its own, although it's better to wear it over a hat as shown in the picture to keep it away from your face. It is proof against both mosquitoes and midges and the draw cord and toggle around the bottom can be used to ensure complete protection.

The Care Plus Mosquito Head Net is not treated with Permethrin or any other insecticides and this could be seen as an advantage if you don't like the idea of Permethrin coated netting billowing in your face all the time. The polyester netting is much finer and softer than the Bug Proof product which can make it more pleasant to wear, although this also means it's a bit harder to see through and ventilation isn't quite so good.

Essential if you are travelling, camping or working in areas where there is a likelihood of sustained attack by midges. Packs down to practically nothing for storage, and it is supplied with a tough little stuff sack to protect it from damage.
