Hooded Mesh Mosquito Suit, Jacket and Pants Set

There are places where repellent on your skin is simply not enough. A lake at dusk, a forest after rain, anywhere the midges have collectively decided you are dinner. A mesh suit solves that structurally instead of chemically: nothing lands on you because nothing can reach you, and you stop reapplying spray every forty minutes.

It is a two-piece, hooded jacket and pants, cut so you can actually move in it. The fabric is a quick-drying, breathable yarn mesh, which is the whole difference between wearing this and wearing a bin bag, because air passes straight through it. The repellent treatment is worked into the fibre rather than sprayed onto your skin, so there is no chemical smell and nothing greasy on your arms at the end of the day.

Sun coverage comes along with it, since the mesh keeps direct sun off your neck and forearms as well as the insects. One size, unisex, and it goes on over whatever you are already wearing. Light enough that it packs down to nothing in the bottom of a daypack and stays there until the bugs turn nasty. Wash it, dry it, roll it back up. If you fish, walk wooded trails, garden at dusk or camp anywhere near still water in summer, it is the cheapest fix going for the most annoying part of being outdoors.
