littleRedBromptons post "First" prompted me to post this.
As with a lot of us here, I get facefulls of flies and midges on my commute.
Anyone know of a mess type mask like what doctors wear in theatre but mesh to stop the flies?
Gotta be a market for them!

yes it's called a Buff.

I found once they get damp from your breath they restrict the air intake ability.

Fair enough.
Doesn't happen with my Buffs.. but each to their own and all that.

I guess the mesh on this is to widely spaced?

Breath in through the nose, out through the mouth. No need to keep the jaw slack.

Extra protein?
But it is flies in my eyes I worry about.

It's Yellow and you can use a Buff.

Your local camping shop should sell midge helmets. I remember having one around 12 years ago.

enjoy the taste

compared to the traffic fumes.....i reckon the flies would probably taste better

I would be more worried by getting one in the eyeball but seeing as i'm poor sighted without glasses the chances are minimal for me.

Got a bloody beast of a fly (Bee?) hit my glasses last year. I swear it actually hurt through the frame! thank god I was wearing them!

As for the fly in the mouth danger (confession time coming up) when I'm out on a ride, in the middle of nowhere, on my own and having a really good time, I have been known to sing quite loudly! I have in the course of my performances ingested the odd fly (I figure it's god's way of telling me to shut the hell up!)

Am I the only one who gets caught up in the moment and sings (or sometimes just have conversations with myself)?

I'll skulk away and hide now

I'd give my right arm for such a thing. My commute is all cuntryside, I invariably end up with a bug in my craw or eye on every journey.

yep.....well so far as i am concerned anyway...a) i'm too busy having a coronary to sing and b) i got fed up arguing with myself....

I got a bee stuck in my helmet last summer. Bugger wriggled to the point I thought it was going to sting me - thank god it didn't.

And no, that is not a euphemism.
