Mosquito Head Net

The Coleman Mosquito Head net is made of fine mesh and can block out mosquitos, black flies, horse flies, moose flies, and deer flies from your face. This can be the barrier between a man having an amazing trip or going insane. We put this head net through continuous nights of use and many days on the water. So now there is only one thing left between this item and a good review. That is the Tough Gear Challenge!!!

DEPENDABILITY: This product saved me and my friends so many times from swarms of mosquitos and black flies that it was well worth its weight in Gold. I could depend on it to keep those bugs from biting my face that with-out it I would have gone crazy. Therefore it receives a Tough Gear Dependability Grade of An A+.

 VERSATILITY: Being made for a specific purpose it doesn’t do much other than keep out blood thirsty insects. However in dire situations you can filter out bugs and debris from water, use it as a small net to catch minnows, or use as a nice breathable gauze type bandage if the situation called on it. Therefore it receives a Tough Gear Versatility Grade of a B+.

AFFORDABILITY: For the low price of $1.99-$5.99 it is sure worth bringing a few along. However I did not have to break out my second one because the first head net lasted the whole trip. For less than the Cost of a gallon of gas you can get one that will make your trip so much more comfortable and rewarding. Therefore it receives a Tough Gear Affordability Grade of an A++.

PACKABILITY: Unlike all those bug hats that require a huge metal ring and whatnot this item can go right around a normal boney hat. This thing can fit right into your pocket and be whipped out at a moment’s notice.  It is Extremely Packable and lightweight. Therefore it receives a Tough Gear Packability Grade of an A+. 

Overall this item was very beneficial to have and did not require all the space of a traditional head net with rings and whatnot. I hiked all over with this thing and I guarantee that it can’t be beaten for its price. You will need to have a boney hat or regular hat to keep the net away from your ears, but in the end it is well worth it. You should buy two just in case one gets snagged on a tree or if you have a friend who forgot to pick one up. It is indeed worth the extra investment. Therefore it receives a Final Tough Gear Grade of an A+.
