Now you see ’ums!

Nobody enjoys wearing a midge net. Aside from the obvious fashion issues, they reduce your vision to such an extent that performing dexterous tasks like operating a camping stove become difficult, and enjoying any kind of view almost impossible. This midge-net-cum-goggle arrangement from Netspex may look daft, and certainly won’t improve your sartorial elegance, but it does allow you to stay bitefree and see what you’re doing. Frankly, we think it’s a work of genius. Priced at £22.50, case £5. Expect to see one on the head of Trail’s photographer Tom Bailey every midge season from now on... www.netspex.co.uk
