HAT AND MOSQUITO HEADNET

2-9

The hat and mosquito headnet is a combination net and hat unit

used to protect your face and neck from insects. The net is

equipped with a drawstring to allow the net to be drawn snug

around the neck and tied. To keep netting away from the face

when the drawstring is to be drawn snug, place a small, flexible

branch inside the net and bend it in a circle around your head.

The branch will then lift the net away from the exposed skin of the

face and neck.
