The Hestya 4-Pack provides a set of 100% polyester head nets, each weighing approximately 0.7 oz. These nets are designed for extreme portability, featuring an elastic cinch drawstring with a plastic toggle. The black mesh variant is specifically designed to minimize optical glare, which can be helpful for visibility during outdoor activities like hiking or climbing.
These nets are "structureless," meaning they must be worn over a stiff-brimmed hat to function correctly. Without a hat, the mesh rests against the skin, which may allow insects to bite through the material. The multi-filament polyester is UV-resistant but can snag on brambles or thick brush. Additionally, the fine weave can trap humidity from exhaled breath, and the overlocking stitch at the crown should be handled with care to prevent unraveling over time.
For a larger-scale solution to protect infants from sun and bugs, the Iselector Travel Pod offers a more substantial barrier.
This value pack is a useful selection for those browsing the pop up mosquito net sunshades section for group travel gear.
