I bought this for a four day paddle in western NSW and would recommend one for everyone venturing out where the flies are.
The price was good, the ordering simple and the goods arrived in a flash - great place to shop.
The headnet keep the bugs away while letting you continue to enjoy the great outdoors.
Highly recommended!
