Pointers For Buying A Good Midge Head Net

By Patricia Murphy


Some insects, like butterflies, can be very pleasant to watch. However, if you walk into a swarm of bees or tiny flies, you will be in trouble. Since you cannot go around spraying bug repellent, you may want to consider buying a midge head net, to keep the insects away from your face. Whether you want a basic midge hat or a fancy looking one, there are some basic things you will still have to consider.

Considering most midges are tiny, the holes on the netting of your hat should also be small. If you notice that you can see the individual holes, then it means they are too big. However, you should still be able to breathe easily. In case you are worried about not being able to see, you can get the hats that have a clear plastic section around the eyes.

The next thing you should do is look at the material of the hat and the mesh. For humid areas, cotton headgear is the best because it will absorb perspiration. However, unless the fabric is very light, it might make the whole thing a bit bulky. In case you have very sensitive skin, look for a net made of polyester or a polyester blend, to reduce the possibility of an allergic reaction.

You will find that these hats come in different sizes. Therefore, do not blindly assume that it will fit you before you try it on. Some of them will have elastic at the edge of the mesh, to keep them in place. Trying it on will prevent you from buying something that chokes you, or that leaves spaces, through which the insects can enter.

One individual may want a midge hat that looks like a baseball cap, while another may prefer one that resembles a fedora. As long as you know what you want, finding it will not be that difficult. There are a variety of designs to choose from, stemming from the fact that various companies produce these items.

You will find that most of these midge nets do not cost more than five dollars. Sometimes, what may make them expensive is the design of the hat to which the mesh is attached, or the chemical used to treat it.

Many general stores will stock these items alongside the repellants. You may also choose to buy online, and this will offer you even variety because you will be looking at the items sold at various stores. In case one is traveling to a place that is known for having swarms of insects flying around during certain seasons, it will help to buy a hat before.

The material used for making the mesh and the type of hat attached will determine how you clean this item. If it has a visor, you are better-placed hand washing it. Some of them can be machine- washed, but this should be done while following the instructions on their packaging.
