Which item is used to protect the head and face in areas of heavy biting insects?

Protecting the head and face in areas with heavy biting insects requires a barrier that covers those exposed skin surfaces. A field cap with a protective veil or integrated netting provides that coverage, shielding the scalp, ears, neck, and face from bites while still allowing airflow. Sunglasses only protect the eyes and don’t prevent bites on other exposed areas. Backpacks and boots protect different parts of the body or serve as gear carriers, not as head-and-face bite protection. So, using a field cap with veil is the appropriate choice in such environments.
