In Quebec, mosquitoes are often part of the adventure. Whether you’re hiking, camping, fishing, or taking a trip to the woods, choosing the right clothes can make all the difference in helping you fully enjoy the great outdoors.
For several years, Chlorophylle offered the Boréal collection, specially designed to provide physical protection against biting insects. Although this collection is no longer available, some of our current clothing options remain particularly useful when mosquitoes are around.
Trek Pants: Your Ally Against Mosquitoes
The Trek pants weren’t designed as mosquito-repellent clothing per se, but the construction of their fabric provides an excellent barrier against mosquito bites.
Made from a technical fabric composed of nylon and spandex, they combine durability, lightness, and freedom of movement. Their sturdy fabric is perfect for hiking, camping, or long days spent in nature.
And best of all: mosquitoes will have a much harder time getting through!
This is a real plus during evenings around the campfire, hikes in the forest, or outings in areas with particularly high mosquito populations.
Choosing the Right Clothing When Mosquitoes Are Around
When mosquitoes are abundant, clothing serves as a first line of defense between your skin and the insects.
- long pants;
- clothing that covers your skin well;
- fabrics that are tight-weaved and durable;
- long-sleeved tops when conditions allow.
For activities in the forest or near wetlands, these clothing choices can help reduce exposed skin while keeping you comfortable during your activities.
