Flies show up the moment the weather turns — and by the time you're standing in the driveway swatting at your face, you want to know exactly where to get a fly net hat, not spend twenty minutes comparing options.
Where to buy fly net hats in Australia
You'll find basic fly nets at big outdoor retailers and some supermarkets, but most are a plain net clipped to a cap — no sun rating, no design, often flimsy after one season. Dreamtimez fly net hats are purpose-built: UPF50+ wide brim, a proper mesh net that tucks away when you don't need it, and authentic Aboriginal artwork licensed directly from the artist. Shop the full range online, with delivery Australia-wide — from Perth to Alice Springs to the east coast.
Fly net hat vs a bucket hat with a net clipped on
A lot of "fly net hats" on the market are really just a bucket hat with a separate net attached. Ours is designed as one piece — wide brim for real shade, a snug adjustable fit so the net doesn't flap in the wind, and a hidden pocket most bucket-hat-plus-net combos skip entirely. If you want the detail on fit and features, see our Fly Net Hat Australia — UV50+ Sun & Insect Protection page, or browse the Aboriginal Hat - Sun Hat with Fly Net and Aboriginal Hat with Interchangeable Scarf styles.
What to look for before you buy
- UPF rating — 50+ is the benchmark for Australian sun.
- Full face-and-neck coverage, not just a front flap.
- Adjustable fit so wind doesn't rip the net off.
- Breathable mesh — some cheaper nets trap heat.
