Keep mozzies at bay plus the added protection of permethrin with the Sea to Summit Permethrin Treated Headnet.
A mozzie net, or fly net, is an essential piece of kit for the Aussie outback, more-so for your sanity when those pesky flies keep disappearing, up your nose, in your ears or even more annoying is when they get stuck between your eye and the lens of your sunglasses.
Made with ultra-fine mesh to keep even the smallest of insects out, and in a black colour to provide optimal visibility through the mesh.

I love how actively helpful your answers are. So, for someone who’s used it, does it trap the heat? The website says it allows airflow but does this work in practice? Many thanks.
G'day Ash,
It definitely doesn't trap heat being mesh, and whilst it does still allow airflow, you won't feel a light breeze as readily as someone without a head net on.
I guess it would be a toss up between your priorities, and how bad the flies are.
Hi I'm wondering if the Permethrin has an odor and if it is very strong?
G'day Anne,
It does have an odor but it's difficult to say if it's strong or not.
I'm personally not a fan of Permethrin treated stuff, as I'm sensitive to it, however, most people don't have any issues.
There certainly hasn't been any complaints or negative feedback from customers, so you should be ok.
Hi, interesting this net is treated with permethrin. How long will this last in the product, and would it get washed off by rain or washing the net?
G'day Andy,
Generally, the Permethrin treatment will last for about 12 months, or up to 30 washes.
How long is it?
They are roughly 50cm from the seam around the top to the elastic at the base, Alexa. Length, when worn, will vary depending on what you are putting it over, and tightening the bottom will shorten the length too.
I hope that helps.
Thanks
G'day Sarah,
There is just the one open end that has a drawcord to secure around your neck. The top is stitched up so you can pop it over a hat or your head.
Will the net fit over the lge straw hats they sell at Bunnings?
G'day Kathy,
I don't have a bunnings hat here to try this but I think the headnet will be a little too small to fit over one of these.
Hi Are you able to tell me how similar to no see um mesh this is? Cheers
G'day David,
It's hard to give an accurate answer as no-see-um mesh is a trademarked type of mesh. What we do know Mosquito Headnet Permethrine not only has an ultra-fine mesh, the mesh has permethrin embedded into it, which will keep the mozzies at bay.
Is this safe for a 2 yr old to use?
G'day Brent,
The manufacturer doesn't specify any safety precautions in regards to the permethrin for children however it might be worth consulting a medical professional for clarification. It's also worth checking out the Royal Children's Hospital website, which, among other things mentions Permethrin treated clothing for children.
Transport bag?
G'day Pam,
Yes, the Mosquito Headnet Permethrine Treated comes in a small lightweight nylon sack.
What are the measurements of the veil?
G'day Ann,
I've just grabbed a Sea to Summit Mosquito Headnet to measure for you. The circumference of the hole at the bottom is about 100cm and it's about 37cm from top to bottom when laying flat.
Do I need to have permethrin on the head net or is just a headnet without permethrin ok too? I am travelling from Adelaide to Alice Darwin Kakadu and the North West from mid Sept to mid Nov so know it will be hot and humid. How bad are the midges?!
