>>2035800I live in Louisiana, which means I’m generally not wearing an insulation layer that’s physically to thick for a mosquito to bite through. We have them almost year round, the exception being the peak of winter (it’s 80° today, so that’s gone). And even then it’s not uncommon to find a few.
Mosquitoes can bite through any type of knit fabric. It doesn’t matter the material type. I’ve been bitten through thin, casual cotton jackets and sweatshirts often. One of the first links you find on Google says denim offers protection, which is flat out wrong. Nylon doesn’t matter either; I’ve been bitten through a hammock.
Woven fabrics are key if you’re not using permethrin for whatever reason. This is what mosquito shirts are. They work well, but are too thick and no breathable enough outside of “winter” in Louisiana.
Pic is just one species of mosquito (the one that carries yellow fever)
