Unique design provides total protection from even the smallest biting or swarming insects around your head and neck. This one-piece product comes packed inside its own stuff sack (5-1/2" diameter, and it weighs just 3 oz). It can be easily carried in your jacket pocket, pack or tackle box, to be readily available when it is needed. You just remove it from its draw cord pouch and the internal spring band will expand the hat and netting to full size, instantly. The netting is positioned out and off the extra wide brim of the hat keeping it well away from your facial area and it is long enough to close in tightly against your neck or be tucked down into your shirt collar. The soft and very supple MICROMESH material has 225 holes per square inch for maximum protection, yet is extremely translucent so as never to obstruct your forward or side-to-side vision. Being extremely thin and lightweight, and the fact that it is held in place well off your facial area it will not rub, chafe or retain any sweat moisture to irritate you. As the threat of mosquito bite problems continues to manifest itself in the United States as being more than just an occasional annoyance, BEING PREPARED surfaces once again as the best and most advantageous method of providing for your personal protection.
