The message from "Jacqueline Davidson" contains these words:
You can buy them in camping/hiking shops; ask for a midge or mosquito hat. They work but the mesh is so small, imho it feels a bit airless sweaty and claustrophobic inside one.

Has anyone on the list made himself a head cover such as bee keepers wear, to keep predatory insects away from your face? If so, please share with me how you did it, or where to buy one, etc. Jackie
Sporting goods stores sell camo head nets for hunters. You might also try Cabela's on line. Frank
I did. I bought a plain, inexpensive straw hat and sewed plain toole over it. I'm not sure if I spelled "toole" correctly, but any fabric store would sell it in many colors. I bought tan. I didn't do it for mosquitoes, but for gnats and grasshoppers.
Coleman has them under their brand name. Another is "Bug Baffeler"
