Helmet with bug screen?

I have Uvex helmets with bug screens in the front vents. I really like that option, been stung in the scalp a few too many times but never since I bought these lids. The fit and design is pretty good too. They're a few years old and I'd like to start looking for replacements but Uvex seems to have pulled out of the U.S. market. Any other brands offer bug protection? I suppose I could get Uvex from an overseas seller if nothing similar is available but that wouldn't be my first choice...

I can highly recommend the Rudy Project Protera. It's expensive but of a higher build quality than the Bells and Giros I have used in the past (granted, they were at lower price points). The Rudys also happen to fit my head best. Sign up for Rudy's email list as they have sales frequently.

I had 'em in my old old Troy Lee and they worked great, but now I always wear a cap under the helmet.
You can also just fit something in there as simple as gutter screen, or even that mesh stuff from the fabric store.
