We hunted East Texas last year which is basically an extension of Louisiana. We had to buy Bug Tamer suits and they worked great. Last year we only bought the jackets buts this year I went ahead and bought the pants. I wouldn't be caught without one if mosquitos or knats are a problem. Yes you can wear shorts under them. Don't be fooled into thinking they breathe really good because of the mesh because they don't. They are a little warm during bow season down here. I don't like spraying down with insect repellant because it has cost me more than one deer through the years.

You might check Bass Pro. I got a sale paper in the mail the other day that showed them at $69.88 for the jacket or pants.
