Re: Bug Suit?

I actually have a suit pretty close to that. It works ok. I have never
had to use it where there are what I would call obnoxious amounts of
mosquitoes. It will wet out and stick to you if you get sweaty enough.
If you want to go this route Shannon used to be THE name in suits like
this. They used something like shrimp net netting under the outer
fabric. They worked but were heavier and expensive.
