Abstract: A collapsable, cylindrical, fabric mesh headnet for protecting a wearer's head from insects. The headnet includes an integral hoop located at mid height of the mesh tube. It keeps the mesh fabric away from the wearer's face when the tube is in place over the wearers head. The hoop is collapsable for storage by twisting and folding to form a plurality of concentric loop rings and layers of mesh fabric to substantially reduce the size of the head covering during storage. A drawstring is provided on the bottom edge of the covering to keep insects from entering there.
