Mosquito Head Net Hat for Men Women Sun Hats Wide Brim

Worked great in Alaska. The mosquitoes were in biblical proportions but they could not get to or faces or neck. If you're headed to a place with any little blood suckers, grab one of these!

I live in central Florida and it's during the July rainy season now. I am in the garden pulling weeds, planting seeds, pruning branches and limbs and cutting hedges most of my time if I'm not in the swamp hunting for pigs and preparing for the fall season. This green Ayamaya Head Net is far superior to the smaller brimmed mosquito mesh hat I previously had. It's larger around the sides which make it tougher for the bugs to get close to your ears and make you think your going to get assaulted. The mesh hangs way farther down to keep leaning over easy to stay protected. I wear a bandana to keep the perspiration from rolling into my eyes and this size hat is perfect for comfort and still stays put even when I'm turning from side to side. Leaning over, the chin strap makes the headcage stay put and when not used is easily wrapped around up top if not using the mesh. I take an extra precaution and spray ALL my outdoor clothing with 10% Permethrin spray and let it dry before I wear it outdoors. ( 'Sawyer' 5% Permethrin by Amazon, how convenient....) This has kept ANY AND ALL bugs from even getting close to my face, neck, or shoulders. Should they be brave enough to land, they usually fly away immediately and die somewhere else. Permethrin spray is easy to find and use. I highly recommend it's use on ALL outdoor clothing. As far as being able to see through the mesh, it depends on how much ambient light you happen to be in. If it's bright out then no problem. The less light, the less visibility...... no brainer.... Best way to see and still be somewhat protected is to let the front mesh hang above the front of the brim on top and let the back drape down around your neck and shoulders. Only the stupid bugs dare coming at you from the front.... Awesome Head Net, whatever color you choose. Of course, I got TWO. I like to PREPARE not repair...

I love everything about this had except when you are using the net. I like that is stows away under a panel that snaps over it it but I'm not sure what to do with that panel when I need to use the net? It just kind of sits on top of your head like a small cap to keep it in place. I wish there was a way to snap it in place when the net is down - maybe a second set of snaps at the top of the net seam? Other than that one issue the hat has worked well for my purpose. I got the one with the panel in the back to keep your neck from getting sunburned. That was a nice added feature.

Love it.Keeps the bugs out while I garden.

It functions as it should. I had 1 problem when unbuttoning the top to let the screen out. One of the buttons broke off and is stuck inside the other half. The only thing I dislike about the hat is that I can't secure the top back to the top after letting the screen out. So the top will blow around during semi strong wind.

I can't tell you what a massive difference this has made to doing yard work in a shady area of my Florida garden. I was having to work one handed as the other hand had to keep flapping about my head like a demented person, just to keep the bugs from biting my face. After 9 bites just on my forehead, and my husband muttering "the bells, the bells, Esmerelda", enough was enough! This hat and net might make me look a bit like a bee keeper, but I'm telling you now you won't regret buying it if, like me, you are a walking target for all biting creatures to zero in on. It's lightweight, shades from the sun and heat and providing you pull in the drawstring, the critters are not getting under the net to chow down.

Just what I needed for the garden

This hat did the job. Kept the cicadas off my head.
