I don’t know, but if there was insulation inside it would be.
Supplex is more comfortable against the skin and is Mosquito proof
Unfortunately, they’re not in my experience. Supplex isn’t bad, but I’ve been bitten through that too. Really baggy clothes help, but otherwise you need a denser and heavier fabric.
Do people get bit through their wind shirts? I’ve never seen a report saying they have, but that doesn’t mean they don’t. Â Essentially the same fabric although wind shirts won’t have the cire finish making them down proof.
