Description
When bugs are thick and relentless, the Mosquito Head Net is the answer. Soft polyester mesh is comfortable against your face while the hexagonal pattern provides better airflow and the black color means increased visibility.
The headnet is also available in an Insect Shield® treated version. Insect Shield® is effective at repelling ticks, ants, flies, mosquitos and other little nasties that you'd rather be protected from.
Technical Features
Sea to Summit’s Mosquito Shelters and standard Headnets are made of a custom mesh with 500 holes per square inch (80 holes per cm²).
This allows for optimum airflow, and makes the shelters / headnets ideal for use in warmer climates.
Note – this mesh is not no-see-um proof. For use in latitudes where no-see-ums, sandflies and midges are common, a mesh with 2000 holes per square inch (310 holes / cm²) is necessary – see the Ultra-Fine Mesh Headnet.

Frequently Asked questions
Have a stiffener ring?
It doesn’t. The beauty of this head net is how light and compact it is; a stiffener ring would make it much bulkier. Wear it over a hat and it will offer plenty of space between the mesh and your skin.
Protect against no-see-ums?
No. 500 holes per square inch is great for mosquitos and most other bugs, but no-see-ums require a mesh with at least 1200 holes per square inch. A no-see-um net material will have reduced airflow as a result.
Work with permethrin sprays?
Yes. The polyester mesh, drawcord and barrel lock will not be damaged by being treated with a permethrin spray.
