FAQs
What type of insects does this head net protect against?
The ultra-fine mesh is designed to protect against a wide range of biting insects, including mosquitoes, sand flies, midges, gnats, and other small flying insects.
Is the mesh breathable?
Yes, the 15D nylon mesh is designed to be breathable, allowing for airflow while providing protection.
Can I wear this over a hat?
Yes, it can be worn over most hats. A hat with a smaller brim will offer a better seal around the neck.
How should I store the head net when not in use?
Store the head net in its provided stuff sack to protect it from damage and keep it organized. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storage.
What is the hole density of the mesh?
The mesh has an ultra-fine density of 2000 holes per square inch (310 hole/cm²).
Is this suitable for humid conditions?
Yes, the breathable mesh makes it suitable for humid conditions, helping to minimize heat buildup.
Troubleshooting
Insects are still getting inside.
Ensure the drawcord is tightened securely around your neck and that no part of your hair or clothing is creating a gap. Check the mesh for any small tears or holes and repair them if found.
The mesh is snagged or torn.
Gently try to untangle the snag. For small tears, a repair kit for fine mesh or specialized fabric glue can be used. Avoid forceful pulling.
Visibility is reduced.
Ensure the black mesh is clean and that your face is not pressed directly against it. Proper fitting, with the net slightly away from your face, improves visibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack the head net from its stuff sack. Place it over your head, ensuring your hair is tucked inside. Adjust the elasticized drawcord around your neck to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, creating a seal against your clothing to prevent insects from entering.
Compatibility:
This head net is designed to fit over most headwear, including hats and caps, though a larger brimmed hat might slightly impede the fit. It is compatible with most outdoor clothing and gear. It is suitable for use with or without glasses, though glasses may require some adjustment underneath the net.
Care:
To clean, gently hand wash with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly. Do not wring or twist the mesh. Allow it to air dry completely in a shaded area before storing. Avoid exposing the mesh to sharp objects or excessive heat, which can damage the fine denier nylon fibers. Store in the provided stuff sack to protect it from snags and dirt when not in use.
