not for everyone but may I cue up my head-net?

I often ride thru a nature preserve w/ lots of water features including marshy areas. I use a standard head net in some areas that are thick w/ biting flies. during covid I even tried a combo approach




I can roll it up to uncover my face when I'm not in a bug cloud. with a hole for my camera mount, it stays in place

w/o the camera hole it tends to slide back. still works but moves around a bit

using a diff. camera mount now so I made a diff. opening but use the old opening w/ a little tape to keep it in place. had to remove the visor for the camera mount. a visor helps keep the net from touching my face. w/o the visor I occasionally pull the net away from my face

but if the bugs are swarming, it really works very well



Wifey uses one when she does her walks thru the woods

we don't wear them constantly, just where the bugs are bad
