All headnets are not created equally. Some will steam your brains
inside them if it's warm enough and you are working yourself enough to
breath pretty heavily. I have an OR spring ring and like it over my
river guides style hat. I have a cheaper sort of boonie hat and net
combo a buddy gave me. No comparing the two of them. The cheap one is
horrible but it does keep the bugs off for the most part. They still
get close enough that the constant zzzzzzzzzzzzz will make you go
screaming off into the countryside. The other down side is you can see
the netting in some and not in others. It will bother you more than
you think, or at least does some folks. Trying to eat under any of
them is an entirely different deal. I've never liked it. YMMV.
