Hi!! Went on a hike today and got eaten up by mosquitoes. Was wondering what other people do to keep ‘em away? Thanks!!!

minus-squareArcanepotato@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoYes, I have one of these: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/adult-bug-resistant-mesh-head-and-neck-net-for-camping-fishing-hiking-gardening-0782910p.0782910.html that I wear under my top layer of clothes. It’s very easy to see out of. It’s important to wear a hat under to keep it off your skin otherwise they can just bit through. My actual bug shirt has less fine mesh and I use it less often: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/bushline-adult-bug-resitant-pullover-jacket-w-zip-off-mesh-hood-for-camping-fishing-hiking-0782992p.0782992.html I will probably wear it backcountry hiking this year.
