Insect Protection Garment

Abstract

A one piece, self-supporting total body covering for protection against insects to be used by campers, hikers, fisherman, hunters or by professionals who work in the outdoors such as scientists and photographers. The garment will be mostly made of a see-through material impervious to insects. What is new and different about this garment is that it will create and area inside the netting large enough to eat, read, etc, and keep the user protected from insects and comfortable for long periods of time. It will be easy to deploy, wear, remove and transport.

         12 . An insect protection device configured to attach to a head of a user, the insect protection device comprising:
 a head piece adapted to be directly secured to the head of the user;   a circular top piece secured above the head piece, the top piece having an outer perimeter circumscribing the head piece;   a resilient loop secured to the circular top piece at the outer perimeter; and   a mesh tube
 secured to the circular top piece at the outer perimeter, 
 having a bottom opening, 
 having a first horizontal perimeter with a first length adjacent to the top piece, 
 having a second horizontal perimeter, with a second length, midway between the top piece and the bottom opening, and 
 wherein the first length is substantially equal to the second length. 
   
     
     
         13 . The insect protection device of  claim 12  wherein
 the second horizontal perimeter is separated by the first horizontal perimeter by at least two feet. 
 
     
     
         14 . The insect protection device of  claim 12  wherein
 the circular top piece is tightly stretched across the resilient loop, and
