Mosquito/bug repellant

[OakLeaf]

Garments does remind me though ... before I discovered the repellents I use now, mostly I'd just wear a lightweight spun polypro painter's coverall. You can get them for $10 or so at the home improvement store. They breathe reasonably well, although obviously they're hotter than bare skin, and because they fit so loosely, nothing can bite through them. Make sure to get the kind with elastic wrists and ankles, wear a hat, and then you only have to worry about your hands, face and neck. And if it's warm weather, make sure to get spun polypro, not Tyvek, which is more durable and more protective against chemicals but doesn't breathe.

Looks a little weird, but any time I'm not being drained dry by mosquitoes or getting 3" welts left on me by flies, I'm happy.

Then there are these mesh garments. http://bugbaffler.com/products.htm I had something similar years ago. These look a bit nicer plus they're USA made. It was definitely more breathable and more durable than the painter's coveralls, though still hotter than bare skin. The pants seams did rip out eventually, but mine was just slightly small on me - better fitting might have lasted longer.
