5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it's supposed to do, May 24, 2009

There's not much to say- this net does what it is supposed to do. i had some back-field work to do and i would literally have hundreds of obnoxious gnats around my head at any given time. Due to the net, i could not tell while i was working.

shipping was prompt as well

This review is from: Sea to Summit Mosquito Head Net (w/wo Insect Shield) (Misc.)

Summary: after comparing to 2-3 other nets, this is the best yet.

This was a gift for my mother, and I have also tried it out myself. It's being used in rural NH for gardening. There are a LOT of flies and mosquitoes. Before using this net, my parents tried out a few others.

Pros:

-The black netting provides much better visibility (versus dark green and brown nets), especially on sunny days

-The drawstring (versus elastic) is essential! Drawstrings allow for a looser fit on the shoulders which prevents insects from attacking your neck. The elastic causes bunching on the neck, which unless you have a high turtleneck, leaves parts of your neck exposed.

-Extremely light weight

Cons:

-None that I've experienced

1.0 out of 5 stars Better wear a very little hat!, September 4, 2010

This review is from: Sea to Summit Mosquito Head Net (w/wo Insect Shield) (Sports)

I wear an Outdoor Research Rain Sombrero, and although it doesn't look much bigger than the hat the guy's wearing in the ad, apparently it is. This thing isn't nearly big enough!! It doesn't fit around the hat well at all and when I secured it using the cord lock, half of my neck was completely exposed. I put it over my head without a hat and found that securing the cord lock would then give my neck just about the right amount of protection that I'd like...but do you really want to wear this without a hat and to have the bugs bite you directly through the net?? It's going straight in the trashcan. Another flaw is that the holes in the netting are clearly too big. This might keep the bigger bugs out, but the tiny ones would laugh as they crawled right on through.
