Coghlan's Mosquito Head Net is a compact, 0.05 lb mesh layer designed to provide lightweight protection for hikers and fishers. The 100% polyester mesh is knit to balance airflow with the exclusion of common mosquitoes. An elasticated neck closure helps provide a secure seal against crawling insects at the base of the head and neck.
This net is a non-ripstop variant, meaning it is susceptible to damage from dense thorns or brush. For effective protection, it must be used with a wide-brimmed hat; without this "spacer," the mesh can rest directly against the skin, allowing insects to bite through the holes. Visibility is generally good in shaded environments, though the fine weave can trap heat in high-humidity, low-wind scenarios. It is intended for managing standard mosquitoes rather than the smallest biting midges.
For more extensive protection while camping, the L Runnzer Pop-Up Tent provides a full-body enclosure.
This item is a essential component for those building a kit within the pop up mosquito net sunshades and personal protection range.
