Hi,
Some months ago I bought from a German outdoor/military surplus store a net scarf that consists of a cotton net with about 1/3" "holes" in it and sized 6 by 3 feet.
It is printed in a flecktarn (German camouflage pattern, streaky/spotty camouflage colors) and you can use it man ways.
I like it folded in 4 so taht I get an 9" wide 6 feet long scarf wrapped around my neck to keep me warm when its cold and windy and found that even thow it consists of a net structure it keeps the wind out and keeps you warm while allowing sweat to either not" form or dissepate quickly.
Just a week or to ago I used it "unfolded" wrapped naround my head and shoulders to "camouflage" me and keep some rabbits from seeing me. This worked well and I had a tasty wild mushroom/rabbit pie the day after
.
I also used it as a carry small items, fruits vegatables etc. "sack" and it can even be used to built a blind (at least from 2 sides as its 6 feet long.
it could even be used to catch animals like rabbits when you stake it losely over an rabbits burrow opening.
All in all it's a nice multi functional piece of equipement (clothing) that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
I haven't seen them in the US but if you find them give them a try you won't be disappointed I think.
My wife almost confiscated mine as wanted to she use it to compliment her autumn colored vest+ blouse she used it as a scarf around her neck but also to wrapp around her head... looked pretty nice and I had a hard time getting it back
