Outdoor Research Deluxe Spring Ring Headnet

Black fly infested territory, didnt get bit once (on the face or neck)... lots of bites on the legs tho :(

really good piece of hardware if you're up north, or in a swamp, and folds down to almost nothing.

Great product, stands up to bushwhacking without tearing to shreds on branches and pickers. Still comfy even when draw string is tight on the neck, and most critically it keeps the black flies and skeeters out of my face! The big ol' black yooper bugs totally ignore the all mighty deet but they can't ignore this baby! Well worth the money!

The net is easy to pack compact, light, folds out and back very easily; nylon cover does not snag on other pack items. Started fishing early on a windless southern beach, and was attacked by a horde of winged teeth (gnats), but fished distraction free.
They cannot crawl through the net, which is comfortable. However it does somewhat compromise vision which was not a problem as I was standing in one spot. The gnat attack would have been much more distracting, and it is better than smelly sprays.

Everyone should keep one of these in their packs. Its light weight, packs down super small, and keeps the bugs away. If you're reading this review, you must live in an area where the bugs get nasty so just buy it! The only flaw is it really tough to drink a beer when it's on....so you'll have to be brave and lift the net up to take a swig.

Definitely keeps the bugs out but sometimes the "deluxe spring" gets in the way of what I am trying to see. Works nice for sleeping with under a tarp to get bugs off your face and the headnet of your face.
