I look forward to the coming warmer months, but not to the return of the little flying bamsticks that make my life uncomfortable when riding.
One's mouth tends to be open when riding at any appreciable lick due to the need to inhale and exhale large volumes of air, and with unerring accuracy, little buglets have the ability to fly into my mouth, down the exact centre of it and hit the back of my throat, causing instant coughing and spitting as one attempts to rid oneself of the miniature corpse and it's attendant revolting taste.
I've designed a mask in my head, similar to the general duty dust masks available from industrial safety suppliers but made of caravan window flyscreen mesh, which would repels the beasties but leave breathing unhindered. I don't suppose anyone already makes something like this do they? I had though of wrapping a buff around my mouth but this would be unpleasant on warm days, as would the anti-pollution masks available.
Has anyone any leads on suppliers or any ideas?
