US 2026/0272089 A1 · SCREENED HOODED GARMENTS AND METHODS

Abstract

A screened hooded garment for protecting a user from insects biting their trunk, shoulders, arms, head, neck, and face. In some forms, the hooded garment is in the form of a pull-over or front zippered shirt or jacket. The hood covers the head of the user and comprises a face port which exposes their face. An insect face screen is secured at the face port as an insect barrier and may be fixed or removeable. In preferred forms, the hooded garment comprises a screen pocket located near the face port having a pocket port that opens towards the face port. The screen pocket can house the deployable insect face screen. The face screen can be stuffed in the screen pocket and remain barely noticeable. When needed, the screen is quickly deployed from the screen pocket and secured to the hood using a face screen binder.
