  I use the OR head net with the spring. It helps keep the net off my face.
I have only used it in camp for no-see-ums. Damn little things love to get
the moisture from the corners of your mouth and eyes. One thing I have
found that works great for mosquitoes... keep walking.
  I wore through my frogg toggs in hours at the shoulders. I tried them
twice over the years with the same results. I ended up with a homemade
poncho that covers me and my pack, the sides button down to my
knees. And rain chaps. But most of the time I just use the umbrella.
Breath-ability in rain wear is a myth for someone who is really burning the
calories. I find that I am soaked in minutes from my own sweat in even
the top of the line breathable fabrics. Not so when using the umbrella.
  I use a wind proof glove. Not so much the cold as the wind that really
numbs those fingers.
