Bug Repellent Clothing
Season's Must-Haves from Canada
by Christie Matheson
If you've ever survived a serious encounter with mosquitoes or blackflies, you know that the experience can wreak havoc with your sanity. (One June, one old-time Mainer explained to me that "a lotta people go nuts because of the blackflies. You wouldn't be the first.")
The only people who might understand fly-ridden angst better than New Englanders are our neighbors to the north. So it's no surprise that a Canadian duo has designed the ultimate in bug-protective clothing. The Ontario-based Original Bug Shirt Company's Elite Edition Bug Shirt ($69.95) and Regular Bug Pants ($57.95) keep insects completely at bay by covering every inch of your skin with lightweight, breathable fabric. Strategically placed mesh offers ventilation and lets you see--but won't let even the littlest no-see-um through.
