I use the bug tamer. Works very well. In hot weather I' ll wet it to keep me cool.
I usually wear it over a t-shirt and shorts.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE GOOD BUG PROTECTION AND SCENT CONTROL TRY THE
BUG LITE SUITE FROM SCENT BLOCKER IT BREATHES VERRY WELL AND HAS GOOD SCENT CONTROL.

[8D]Ihave a Shannon Bug Tamer and a Leafy Wear Bug Suit. Both are great.
Bug Tamer works better for bow shooting. I also wet it during hot weather. I wear the leafy wear for turkey hunting.[:-]

I purchased Bass Pro' s version of the bug suit last year and took it back after 2 trips to the field. It did not breath well at all nor did it prevent misquito bites.

I have heard that shannons bug tamer is the way to go.

I bought the Bug Tamer this year after borrowing and using one in a S. GA swamp. That one day sold me. No bites when that things on, except if you let it pull tight to your skin. Buy it a little large for that reason and wet it in hot weather and you' ll be fine. The 2003 Bug Tamer has a new lighter weight mesh as well.

I bought the leafy bug tamer last year. It seemed to work good unless you pull it tight to your skin. I also removed the leaves on the inside of the left arm and the left chest area to keep the bowsting clear. The mittens are a little awkward. You can sew the leaves back on somewhere else.
