MJR Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Any recommendations for insect repellant clothing? It needs to be light weight and UV protecting also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VarmLR Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 MTP temperate trousers and lightweight jackets/shorts. Permethrin treated for the armed forces so good alternative where ticks especially are a problem. Trousers can be had at grade 1/almost new for £15. I use them for shooting in the summer months.

I appreciate not everyone wants to dress in military camo gear though. Like these: http://gijoearmystores.com/product/genuine-british-army-trousers-grade-1/ Nosilife ones great too. I've several pairs but found the MTP ones a little harder wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikka4Sika Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Ive spent time outdoors in hot sweaty countries and generally spray my boots and hat ( rather than my skin) with Deet based insect repellents , generally works , ticks are my biggest fear , tick born encephalitis and Lyme disease ( Lyme borreliosis) are not to be taken lightly , constant all over checking is essential .

terryh Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Gents If ticks are a worry then use suphour soap to wash with, it is not as bad as it sounds, good for chiggers and Bott fly as well. Sharp's kit and which malarial prophylactic are your next items Mike T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even sweat soaked, not had a horsefly bite through - or even land - the shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Ive used the Craghoppers Nosi life clothes since 2013 - they work - have tow pairs of trousers and shirts, depsite repeated washing they still repel biting insects and ticks. Material is very lightweight and durable, plus dries quickly in shower / sweat. Quite cost effective too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
