Product Information
Full details
The Helikon Mosquito Midge Head Net is an essential accessory for hikers, anglers, and campers who need reliable, lightweight protection against irritating insects like midges and mosquitoes. Constructed from durable polyester, it offers a fine mesh barrier that keeps bugs out while maintaining visibility; however, users should note that the net is designed to be worn over a wide-brimmed hat to ensure the mesh stays away from the face.

FAQs
Does this net come with a hat?
No, the net is designed to be used with your own hat to create the necessary structure.
Will this keep out black flies and midges?
Yes, the fine polyester mesh is designed specifically to block small flying insects like midges, gnats, and mosquitoes.
Can I wear glasses under the net?
Yes, the net is spacious enough to accommodate most glasses and sunglasses comfortably.
Is the material breathable?
It is made of a porous mesh that allows for airflow, though it is slightly less breathable than open air.
How do I clean the net if it gets dirty?
Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent and hang to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Visibility feels obstructed
Ensure the hat underneath is properly shaped to stretch the mesh evenly, removing folds or loose fabric.
Insects are finding their way inside
Tuck the bottom of the net securely into your collar or use the drawcord to tighten the seal around your neck.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the net, slide the opening over your head and adjust the bottom drawcord if necessary. It is highly recommended to wear this over a baseball cap or a bucket hat; the brim acts as a frame, keeping the netting away from your skin. For care, hand wash the net in cool water with mild soap after extended use to remove sweat and environmental debris. Air dry in the shade to maintain the integrity of the polyester fibers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this may damage the delicate mesh weave.
