SMIDGE HEADNET £5.50

Midges can make even the most spectacular view impossible to enjoy when they’re out in force – unless you have a midge net. This one from Smidge is small enough to keep crammed in your pocket, weighs about as much as a midge and is pale green, so doesn’t obstruct the view as much as darker ones. VERDICT Between June and September, a midge net is all but essential for most hill areas. This one doesn’t ruin the view!
