MIDGE SPECS
Review by TGO Magazine
We sent a few MidgeSpecs to The Great Outdoors (TGO) magazine, including a new custom version, and they have given us a great review which you can see here.
I really love the picture of David’s family wearing the different versions!
The middle version is available at a slightly increased cost (I can’t get them trade unless I order hundreds).
Thanks David Lintern and TGO!
Dave Macleod and Dave Cuthbertson endorse the new Highland Fashion
Dave Macleod had a pair of the first of the current design of MidgeSpecs and I had been wondering how he had got on with them. According to his recent Instagram post, he seems to have put them to good use whilst climbing near the Cobbler. Dave ‘Cubby’ Cuthbertson lives in the village and also models a pair in the accompanying photo! Good to see they’re a hit with the climbing community!
Midges to get worse in the Highlands!
The Guardian has posted some good news for our business (and unfortunately, bad news for tourists!). It seems climate change is making the midge problem worse, so much so that the National Trust have added midge conditions to their safety assessment forms!
I’ll have to drop in and see if they’d like a few complementary pairs for the works 🙂
Review by Chris Townsend
Passionate outdoor enthusiast and writer, Chris Townsend, has written a glowing review of our MidgeSpecs on his blog. He says
“The MidgeSpecs are a big advance. I’ve also worn them over my reading glasses and that’s fine too. The wide view through the glasses gets rid of the trapped feeling of standard midge nets and lets you get on with what you’re there for. I highly recommend them.”
There are few people who spend more time in the outdoors in the Highlands than Chris and I’m so pleased that he’s appreciated Midge Specs.

Review by Mike Prince
Landscape photographer Mike Prince has written a review of our Midge Specs and published it on his website. Mike had reviewed the NetSpex that were made nearly a decade ago and were part of my original inspiration for MidgeSpecs. When NetSpex stopped making their product, I started making my own and trying to fix some of the flaws in them. Mike obviously thinks I did a good job as he comments that our product solves the steaming up issue and have a clearer view of the world.

2024 Midge Season Starting
We’ve seen a few midges hatching here and there but not too many at the moment but it won’t be long until we get the first full wave. They’ll probably arrive with the next rainy period which is forecast for next week. Midges live in the ground for the first part of their lives and only change into the flying insect if the conditions are right! The image below shows the cycle.
