Midge head nets for the Scottish summer time
Wow, we're just back from a rainy week in the Cairngorms and let me tell you, it's midge season. The nearly invisible bugs that can reduce a grown man to a gibbering wreck with their itchy bites are in full force, and they just love damp warm weather.
Luckily our stock of Midge Head Nets has just come back into the store. We were getting very nervous for our customers in case they were forced to rely on just Jungle Formula alone to keep the little blighters at bay. If you've never used a midge head net, it is a simple mesh hood that covers your entire head and face. Kind of like an extremely baggy stocking on a bank robber's head. You can see through them and breathe through them without a problem. Midges however, and other bugs such as blackflies, mosquitos and clegs won't get through the midge net, especially if you wear it over the top of a hat to keep the mesh slightly away from your tasty flesh. There are no eating holes or drinking holes in the midge net, though you can sup a beverage through the mesh if you don't mind slurping a bit and leaving the stain of whatever you've been drinking in front of your lips for everyone to see. These midge nets pack to a tiny size and weigh virtually nothing and are an essential part of most people's outdoors gear for the Scottish summer time. Midge Nets Posted by bigcrags @
