Looking at anti mosquito shirts.Thank you You can treat your clothes with permethrin, it lasts through several washings. One brand is Sawyer Permethrin Cloth and Gear Insect Repellent. Spray it on and let it dry completely before you wear it. In the US a brand of clothing called Exofficio also has clothes pre-treated with insect repellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcpa1 Posted November 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I use Sawyer's too. It treats your existing wardrobe and washes out easily after a few wearings. If you are heading further south like to Rio or Buenos Aires I have noticed that the ladies don't wear a lot of white during their summers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mexicobob Posted November 2, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I live in Mississippi where mosquitoes will pick you up and take you away. Keeping all skin covered is important. DEET spray is the only thing that I have found that slows them down. Also, the Off clip on fans are effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet- Posted November 2, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Have a look at Craghoppers.They also have a outlet site with an extra 20% off at the moment. We found that they easily dried over night if hung in the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiFi43 Posted November 2, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 2, 2022 We did this a couple of years ago and did fine with Cutters bug spray. Saw many other folks using other bug spays and lotions and doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
