I'll be using it again this summer - if I have any problems I'll say so.Chris Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282926597863688874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-45783623548630855132017-04-15T02:51:47.114+01:002017-04-15T02:51:47.114+01:00The other problem i came across with this design w...The other problem i came across with this design was that because the glasses are close to your face then it holds the midge net itself close to your face and the net gets wet with your perspiration which the midges are attracted to then the midges settle on the outside of mesh close to your skin and bite through the net.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-80209039712814235302017-04-13T14:18:52.014+01:002017-04-13T14:18:52.014+01:00I haven't had them steam up much, unlike the m...I haven't had them steam up much, unlike the midge nets with plastic screens, though it has happened a little at times. Certainly you could make your own but that's true with lots of gear.

Also that the net etc was made up from a Highlander midge net and some cheap safety glasses off Ebay so lets put it this way you could make your own for half the price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-35058078033307918772016-06-03T09:16:23.010+01:002016-06-03T09:16:23.010+01:00Don't go into your local bank with that on Chr...Don't go into your local bank with that on Chris.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.com
