Setting: hot summer

So I understand, mosquitos have a harder time getting through tightly knit/woven fabric. However, tight fabric can also get pretty hot to be in. I was thinking that something like parachute material would be both tightly knit, yet also breathable because it is so lightweight.

Alternatively, you could wear cheap, loose knit, highly breathable garments, that have been soaked with permethrin (or others, see below).

I would like to hear from people that have tried both of these options (or maybe a better option altogether), and what they prefer.

" The net won't stop you being bitten though, it has to be separated from your skin, any cloth will do that. YOU can use little foam blocks to make a two layer netting that drapes over your body, but doesn't allow you to get stung.

I have a bug jacket that is made out of green cotton netting like cheesecloth, one soaks it in a preparation of citronella, and it repels bugs for an extensive period of time, days or weeks. I haven't seen them for sale for a while though. "

Wow, even more great ideas!
