I don't usually wear caps, or indeed head-nets but this caught my attention..

It seems slightly better than the usual ones, if you are planning a trip to "Midge-ville"

They have been around for a long long time. I have many fine products from them.

They are great also innovative, they make all kinds of kit of which I have some. Its of top quality too. I am in no way affiliated with them.

They make the best gaitors money can buy, I haven't used any of their other products but I would be surprised if you were disappointed. Glyn.

Higly recommended. I have got some of their P150 liner gloves, a nice windblocker vest and a fleece hat. All are excellent.

My wife just bought some of their Flurry gloves from Cotswold for her winter comute (too cold for her normal gloves) - very impressed. OR generally has a very good reputation, but being a US brand without a huge amount of coverage over here, I'm not surprised that its a bit of a dark horse.

You could buy from REI, but the shipping will really ramp up the price. On the other hand, Wildtrak stocks much of their stuff, and a quick look found similar gear -

I've used their gaiters (which were utterly superb), gloves (ditto) and one of their really lightweight waterproof jackets (brilliant). The stuff is very well thought out and extremely well made.

It's a good company that puts out quality gear. They are pretty popular in the US.
