protective clothing for mosquitoes
Some weeks ago I posted a thread to sci.materials looking for the
perfect hot weather suit for mosquito protection and able to endure in hot summer weather. I use mosquito netting pants and hooded shirt over a cotton shorts and T-shirt. Trouble with the netting is that it feels like wearing wires and often mosquitoes land and keep looking around for a portion that is touching the skin to bite. If the weather is not that hot I wear a goretex XXL hooded jacket and a rain pants. These two are the ultimate for dense mosquitos and also for tick infestated woods. Trouble is that it is too hot in summer heat. Recently I found a nice alternative. Columbia makes a pants of nylon that is very breathable for even the hottest July days. The trouble with it is that if I am not in motion and still then the mosquito will bury its proboscis into the fabric and bite the skin. But if I am in sort of constant active motion that the bagginess of these pants sort of wards them off in the motion and they are comfortable in the heat and the sweat does not soak into the pants. I still believe the ultimate summer clothing for the future will be a jumpsuit type of garment that is air conditioned and where no insect can penetrate the garment and the only spots to protect is the face and possibly fingers if doing dexterous work. I am rather surprized that no clothing manufacturer in the past 50 years has deemed a "insect proof garment for the summer" of top priority. I do believe there is alot of room for improvement of netted garments. And although netted garments would not be tick proof, I suspect they can be made to be mosquito and fly proof.

protective clothing for mosquitoes
I've never seen any type of insect wear any type of clothing, let alone a
mosquito wearing protective clothing. Little tiny gloves & helmets with holes for their snoots? Micro flack jackets? What are we talking about here? Karl Johanson |
