I just bought a Shannon Bug Tamer 3D Leaf suite with scent blocker. It is suppose to keep the mosquito' s from biting me. It has the outside mesh covering with the small fishnet lining inside, complete with the head covering.
With all that protection I still wound up having to spray myself with the " No Stinkin Bug Spray" , and even then I got bit. Considering that I was doing some scouting in a marsh and sitting for awhile watching a bean field I think I came out ok with several bite' s on my forearms and along side my thighs. I know we raise some big ass mosquito' s here in Wisconsin but come on!
I think that my Shannon Bug Tamer Suite is great but I was just wondering if someone has found something better.
It was about 75 degrees when I was in the marsh so I don' t want to wear thicker clothing under my suite and I don' t think the mosquito' s are going away any time soon[X(]

I live in louisiana so I know what you mean by mospuitos. I had used a bug tamer suit last year and liked it. I had good luck.

I have used a scent lock leafy wear suit for a couple of years and I never got a bite but man is that thing hot.

yea the bug tamer does not stop them unless its loose on you any place it is tight you get zapped i' m not impressed with mine. theres a new one out that uses a roll of netting between the sewing. if it is as short as the shannon its not going to be any better.you would think after spending that much money it would work. i can' t beleive that these companys don' t no how long a stinger is on our state bird lol.

I have a Shannons suit also and it' s been working well for me over the past two years. My only complaints are that I' m 6' 6" and the sleeves on the jacket are a bit short. I wear rubber boots and don' t have to be concerned with the length on the pant legs. I wish they offered these suites in a Tall size. Another problem I have is that the suit can snag and rip very easily. Plus the face mask/cover is very hard to see through. But is does keep the bugs off. -Ken

Buckskin73: My suite is hot too!

Selway: Mine suite has the netting but that makes sense about the tight areas. I was sitting for awhile, sometimes leaning forward so it was tight along side of my butt and hip area. I wish I would have ordered a size bigger. I' ll have to use extra bug spray on those tight areas

DE.Hunter: I can see real good through the face/mask, even when looking through binnoculars. Also this years model has been improved so there is less chance of snags and rips. I still think my suite is great!

Those little biting critters are a pain in the butt no matter what.

Huntress1007, My suit is 4 years old and is Mossy oak Break up pattern. I' m glad to hear that they have made some improvements. The season starts Sept. 1 here in DE and even though my suit is not perfect, I' ll be weraring it through mid October. -Ken
