Anti-Mosquito Suit — Camouflage Mesh Suit

Anti-Mosquito Suit and Camouflage Mesh Suit for Summer

A mesh suit is a lightweight set consisting of a jacket and trousers that you wear over your regular clothes. It is taken along on summer trips to the forest, hunting, fishing or tactical training, when a heavy camouflage suit is out of place in the heat, while mosquitoes and the sun get in the way. The mesh fabric lets air through well, so it is not as hot as a solid garment.

How a Mesh Suit Differs from Other Camouflage Suits

Unlike the bulky "Kikimora" ghillie suit, the mesh does not create a shaggy silhouette; it simply breaks up the outline of the figure with a camouflage pattern. It weighs almost nothing, folds quickly into a backpack and does not restrict movement thanks to its loose cut. On the other hand, it is strictly a summer item: it does not protect against cold or rain.

Understand the limits of camouflage: it helps you blend into the terrain but does not make you completely invisible. The rest comes down to movement discipline and choice of position. For other types of suits to compare, see the category camouflage suits.

Anti-Mosquito or Just Camouflage: How Not to Make a Mistake

Not every camouflage mesh suit is a mosquito suit. In anti-mosquito models, such as the Multicam one, the manufacturer states a Grid in Grid weave with very fine openings of different shapes, which is meant to keep out mosquitoes and ticks, and drawstrings on the cuffs and waist fit more snugly to the body. A camouflage mesh suit with a hood-mask in Multicam is designed for camouflage and sun protection; protection from insects is not claimed for it.

No mesh guarantees absolute protection from mosquitoes and ticks. Tighten the drawstrings, tuck your trousers into your footwear and do not leave gaps around the neck.

How to Choose Size and Color Pattern

Since a mesh suit is worn over clothes, choose the size taking into account what will be underneath, and if in doubt, take a larger one. Sizes are marked both with letters and with numbers, so check the size chart on the product page. Choose the color pattern — Multicam or pixel — to match the terrain where you will be most often.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an anti-mosquito suit protect against ticks?

Partially. For models with the Grid in Grid weave, the manufacturer states a barrier against ticks, but gaps at the cuffs and waist remain a weak spot. After a walk, still check your clothes and body.

What should I wear under a mesh suit?

Lightweight clothing with long sleeves and trouser legs. The mesh is designed to be worn over it, and the second layer reduces the risk of mosquitoes reaching your skin through the openings.
