Bug Away Jacket — Women
Full-coverage mesh jacket for women. Slim tailored fit, drawstring hood and zip closure. Perfect as a base layer for hiking, gardening and outdoor adventures. Chemical-free and breathable.
The Bug Away Women's Jacket gives you the same noseeum-grade mesh protection as our men's version, in a slimmer, more tailored silhouette. It's designed to be worn comfortably under your regular outdoor layers — or on its own when it's warm.
The drawstring hood seals around your face to keep mosquitoes and gnats away from your neck and hairline — the most frequently bitten areas. The full zip closure keeps the front protected, and the slim fit means no excess fabric catching on branches or gear.
Made from nylon mesh finer than 0.6mm openings, the jacket physically blocks ticks, mosquitoes, harvest mites and black flies. No chemicals, no sprays, no residue. Just a layer of protection you put on and forget about.
Breathable enough for summer hikes, light enough to pack into a jacket pocket. Pair with the Bug Away Pants for complete coverage from collar to toe.
Everything you need to know
Won't I overheat wearing an extra layer?+
No. The mesh is specifically designed for airflow. It weighs under 80g for the full suit and breathes freely in summer heat. Most customers report no noticeable temperature difference. The mesh creates a physical barrier without trapping heat the way solid fabric does.
Does it actually stop ticks?+
Yes. The mesh openings are smaller than 0.6mm. An adult deer tick is approximately 1-3mm and physically cannot pass through or bite through the weave. It's the same principle as a window screen, engineered into wearable clothing.
How do I wash it?+
Machine wash on cold, gentle cycle. Hang dry or tumble dry on low. No special detergent needed. The mesh maintains its integrity wash after wash with zero loss of protection, unlike permethrin-treated clothing that degrades after 5-6 washes.
How does it fit over my regular clothes?+
Bug Away is designed as an over-garment. You wear it right over your hiking clothes, fishing outfit, or gardening gear. The fit is slightly oversized by design so it floats over your base layer without restricting movement.
How long does it last?+
Years. The noseeum-grade nylon mesh is durable and doesn't degrade with use or washing. There's no chemical treatment that wears off. As long as the mesh isn't torn, the protection is the same on day one as it is on day one thousand.
What about mosquitoes and other insects?+
The mesh blocks any biting insect larger than 0.6mm. That includes mosquitoes, black flies, no-see-ums, harvest mites, gnats, and horse flies. If it bites, the mesh stops it.
What if it doesn't work for me?+
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you get bitten through the mesh, we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.
