US Army Insect Head Net
This is a US military insect head net, a mesh hood that drops over your head and shoulders to keep mosquitoes, gnats and blackflies off your face and neck. It gives you a physical barrier where repellent wears off or can't be used, such as at a deer stand, a fishing bank, a swamp campsite or a long shift outdoors in bug season. Hunters, anglers, campers, preppers and collectors of US issue field kit all have a use for one.
Features
- Genuine US Military Issue — The net carries NSN 8415-00-935-3130, the National Stock Number the US government uses to catalogue and requisition supply items.
- Fine Insect Mesh — Close-woven netting stops biting insects while you can still see clearly and breathe easily through it.
- Face Hoop Spacer — A fabric-covered hoop at chin level holds the mesh away from your skin, so insects can't bite through netting pressed against your face.
- Fitted Fabric Crown — A seamed olive drab cap forms the top of the net, sits on the head and holds the mesh in position.
- Full Neck Coverage — The long skirt of netting hangs down past the neck to the shoulders and can be tucked into a collar to close the gap.
- OD Green Color — Olive drab, the US military's standard field green, blends into woodland and brush instead of standing out.
- Cotton And Polyester Construction — The head net is made from cotton and polyester, the materials specified for this issue item.
- Repellent-Free Protection — The mesh is a physical screen, so you don't need to put chemicals on your face, around your eyes or near your mouth.
Genuine Army Issue
The head net was made for the US military and listed in the federal supply system under its own stock number, so it is the issued item and not a commercial lookalike. The design is simple: a fabric crown, a spacer hoop and a long mesh skirt, which leaves very little to fail in the field. For reenactors and collectors it is an authentic piece of US field equipment, and for everyone else it is a practical bug net built for military use.

Bugs Dont Stand A ChanceBought this before a fishing trip up north where the mosquitos are the size of birds I swear. Tied it off at the back of my head like the little video showed and it stayed put even when I was walking around. What I like is it goes right over my ball cap no problem and the mesh is fine enough that no-see-ums cant get through. For seven bucks this thing is a STEAL and its actual military surplus not some cheap knockoff.

Works great, been using for yearsI've had this exact net for like 3 years now and still going strong. Used it on hunting trips, range days, and just general outdoor stuff. Never had any issues with it tearing or the mesh failing. If you're on a budget this is the way to go honestly.
Extremely durable construction
Great value for the money -
Durable and built to last.Perfect for keeping bugs away on long hikes. The head net fits comfortably over my hat and the one-size-fits-all design makes it easy to use. It's a must-have for any outdoor enthusiast.

The last head net you’ll needFor the price of some sporting goods store rinky dink plastic mesh commercial insect head net that’s just basically a bag you put over your head, (and if you’re lucky it comes with a flimsy drawstring) you can buy this head net and get good old over the top US military surplus that will outlive you, your children, and your children’s children. This will thwart mosquitoes, black flies, deer flies, ticks, and that occasional yellow jacket that’s decided your ear hole looks interesting.
Super fine mesh, suspension rings to keep that mesh off of your face, a nylon cap that might be waterproof, elastic draw strings. You would really have to work at it to damage this thing.
Slight smell of mothballs when this was probably put into storage 50 years ago.
