I dunno Manny - those seem to cover everything BUT the mouth and nose.
+1 for the Buff - I have a few of these which I use when out in the sun on
the boat. Or when it's just frosty enough to require a thin windbreak.
They actually do cover well. Not sure if they are really all that
I nose breathe all the time (except on climbs over 10,000 feet, where bugs
are not a huge issue), and even then gnat clouds can give a lot more
texture to the air than is preferable. But that's only an infrequent and
short lived issue in the Colorado Rockies. Short of a no-see-um mesh
bandana
I think I'm gonna pick up a so-called buff, a neck/head tube made of
stretchy thin material. I have a cold right now, so my nose is exit-only,
no easy breathing.

On our recent So Cal Riv ride in the San Bernardino mountains, a couple of
the guys used full coverage bug nets. They were able to don doff them as
we hit patches of nats, then clear air. An outdoor gear store is a likely
source. Maybe Hugh or David will chime in with what they used.

This would do it...

What Hugh said, although Patrick's version would be a nice back up option.

Buy some cheap mesh at a camping store or some place and cut into a square
and make a bandanna out of it and wear it bandido style :)
There is no fabric that is going to breath well enough .

Garth,
I disagree the bug net I wore was fine to breath through while in exertion.
Best,

Mexican Luca Libre Mask. All the way. Pretty sure you can get it at the
