Years ago, I used helmets from a German company called Uvex… In the front vents, they had very fine screens… Kind of a mesh. Did a great job keeping bugs out. I wish more helmets were designed that way.
Love my Uvex helmets! I've been stung in the scalp too many times. I'm really sad that they pulled out of the U.S. market, I'd love to buy another. There are a few other brands that feature similar bug screens but I guess a MIPS/Wavecel helmet is a good investment-better crash protection and reasonably bee-proof.
