A protective garment for protection against mosquitoes and other insects is provided. The garment comprises a plurality of fabric components with stitching forming seams securing the components together. The fabric components are multilayered and comprise inner and outer layers of fabric which are connected at the seams. The outer layer of fabric is constructed so as to prevent passage of mosquitoes and other insects therethrough. The inner layer of fabric is a coarse mesh fabric with relatively large openings therein and is many times thicker than the thickness of the outer layer of fabric so as to serve as a spacer layer to space the skin of the wearer of the garment at such a distance from the outer surface of the garment that mosquitoes, even in the event of sticking their heads between yarns forming the outer fabric layer, cannot span the distance to the skin of the wearer so as to bite the wearer.
A protective garment adapted to be worn by hunters and other outdoor people to provide protection against mosquitoes and other types of insects, said garment comprising a plurality of fabric components, said fabric components being multilayered and comprising inner and outer layers of fabric, and stitching forming seams securing the fabric components together and interconnecting the inner and outer layers of fabric to form the garment, the outer layer of fabric having a construction so as to prevent passage of mosquitoes and other insects therethrough, the inner layer of fabric being a coarse mesh fabric with relatively large openings therein and being many times thicker than the thickness of the outer layer of fabric so as to serve as a spacer layer to space the skin of the wearer of the garment at such a distance from the outer surface of the garment that mosquitoes, even in the event of sticking their heads between yarns forming the outer fabric layer, cannot span the distance to the skin of the wearer so as to bite the wearer.
A protective garment adapted to be worn by hunters and other outdoor people to provide protection against mosquitoes and other types of insects, said garment comprising a plurality of fabric components, said fabric components being multilayered and comprising inner and outer layers of mesh fabric, and stitching forming seams securing the fabric components together and interconnecting the inner and outer layers of fabric to form the garment, the openings in the outer layer of fabric being considerably smaller than the openings in the inner layer of fabric and of such small size as to prevent passage of mosquitoes and other insects therethrough, and wherein the yarns forming the inner layer are considerably larger than the yarns forming the outer layer so that the inner layer serves as a spacer layer to space the skin of the wearer of the garment at such a distance from the outer surface of the garment that mosquitoes, even in the event of sticking their heads between yarns forming the outer mesh fabric layer, cannot span the distance to the skin of the wearer so as to bite the wearer.
A protective garment adapted to be worn by hunters and other outdoor people to provide protection against mosquitoes and other types of insects and to provide concealment for the hunter in the woods and brush, said garment comprising a plurality of fabric components, said fabric components being multilayered and comprising outer and inner layers of mesh knit fabric, and stitching forming seams securing the fabric components together and interconnecting the inner and outer layers of fabric to form the garment, the outer layer of mesh knit fabric having a camouflage motif printed thereon and the inner layer of mesh knit fabric being a dark colored fabric so as to blend in with the camouflage motif of the outer layer, and with the openings in the outer layer of mesh knit fabric being considerably smaller than the openings in the inner layer of fabric, and of such small size as to prevent passage of mosquitoes and other insects therethrough, and wherein the yarns forming the inner layer are considerably larger than the yarns forming the outer layer so that the inner layer serves as a spacer layer to space the skin of the wearer of the garment at such a distance from the outer surface of the garment that mosquitoes, even in the event of sticking their heads between yarns forming the outer mesh fabric layer, cannot span the distance to the skin of the wearer so as to bite the wearer.
