Mosquito Net Hats Built for Australian Conditions
Looking for a mosquito net hat, fly head net or mosquito head net that actually keeps bugs off your face? Every Dreamtimez hat in this range has a fine fly and mosquito net sewn directly into a wide UPF50+ brim. The net drops down over your face and neck, sits away from your skin and seals securely underneath — so there's no loose head net to fit over another hat, and no sprays or chemicals.
Designed for Australian bush flies, mozzies and midges, and built for farming, fishing, camping, hiking and outback travel. Each hat features licensed artwork by a named Aboriginal artist, with ongoing royalties paid on every sale and part proceeds donated to the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Fly Head Nets and Fly Face Nets: Which Should You Choose?
A standalone fly head net or fly face net is a mesh bag you pull over a hat you already own. It's cheap, but it can bunch up, press against your face and leave gaps at the brim. A hat with mosquito netting built in keeps the mesh held off your face by the brim, closes neatly under the chin and tucks away when the bugs ease off. For long days outdoors, a built-in net is more comfortable and more reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do mosquito net hats work?
Yes. A mosquito net hat puts a physical mesh barrier between insects and your face and neck, so it keeps working all day — unlike repellent, which wears off with sweat. Cover your arms and legs too if mosquitoes are heavy.
What's the difference between a fly net for your face and a mosquito head net?
They're the same idea: fine mesh that covers your face and neck. Mosquito head nets use a slightly finer weave to stop smaller insects. The net on Dreamtimez hats blocks bush flies, mosquitoes and midges.
Does the net touch my face?
No. The wide brim holds the net away from your skin, so it doesn't brush your face or block your view.
Can I wear it without the net down?
Yes. The net tucks up into the brim when you don't need it, so it works as an everyday UPF50+ sun hat too.
