Group of companies "Vostok-Service" presents a novelty - an anti-encephalitis suit EXPEDITION.

Spring and summer are the traditional time for the construction of country houses, cottages, summer cottages, etc. Often, these structures are erected in the forest zone, on glades overgrown with grass and shrubs. The main nuisance that annoys builders while working in such conditions is insects. Bites of mosquitoes and midges, ticks can significantly complicate the work, increase the deadlines for the delivery of objects, permanently disable even the most experienced specialists. The right way to protect workers from this trouble and provide comfortable working conditions - properly selected overalls that protect a person from the bites of bloodsucking.

Indeed, the spring and summer months are the time of ticks, mosquitoes, horseflies, flies, midges, and other blood-sucking insects that cause a lot of inconvenience to a person whose work (or rest) takes place in the field, in nature. Moreover, in recent years, scientists have noted an unusually high activity and growth in the number of certain insect species - ticks of the genus Ixodes, for example, carriers of such infections as tick-borne encephalitis and tick-borne borreliosis.

Reference

Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral infection characterized by fever, intoxication, and damage to the gray matter of the brain (encephalitis) and/or the membranes of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis and meningoencephalitis). The disease can lead to persistent neurological and psychiatric complications and even death. Borreliosis, or Lyme disease, is a dangerous infectious disease, the improper treatment of which also leads to a chronic disease of the tissues of the joints, heart, as well as nervous system and eye. When moving to a late stage, the disease becomes intractable, leading a person to disability or even death.

The activity of tick-carriers of viral diseases has increased not only in the traditionally "tick-borne" regions - in the Far East, Siberian, Ural federal districts, but also in the central part of Russia. Under these conditions, special clothing designed to protect against the effects of ticks and other blood-sucking insects becomes especially relevant.

New - EXPEDITION costume

Group of companies "Vostok-Service" presents a novelty - an anti-encephalitis suit EXPEDITION. New suit- a combination of years of proven experience in tick protection and modern technology. Provides reliable protection against penetration to the human body of ticks and other blood-sucking insects (mosquitoes, midges, midges, horseflies, etc.), guarantees comfort during work and outdoor recreation.

Textile. The suit is made of dense tent fabric (cotton - 100%, 250 g/m², water-repellent impregnation). Thanks to cotton, the fabric "breathes" well and does not cause irritation. Due to the high density and special weave of the threads, the material is resistant to mosquito proboscis punctures and generally has high wear resistance.

Design. The special design of the suit also protects a person from bloodsuckers: special knitted cuffs-wristlets on the sleeves of the jacket and trousers fit snugly to the body. Small detachable mesh closes the hood along the front cutout, does not restrict the view and protects the face and neck from insect bites. The hood is adjustable in depth with a strap and drawstring. Special folds on the sleeves, shelves and back of the jacket, as well as on the trousers prevent the movement of ticks up the suit (as you know, a tick, falling on an animal or person, moves only upwards). A jacket tucked into trousers prevents the penetration of ticks into the underwear space.

Additional protection. To ensure human safety in conditions of low visibility, the yoke of the suit is made of bright orange fabric and is complemented by stripes of retroreflective material. In order to increase the effectiveness of protection, before using it in the field, it is recommended to treat the suit with special repellents that repel ticks and other blood-sucking insects according to the manufacturer's instructions.

First, a small lyrical introduction, which, however, can be skipped.
I often remember the situation in which my friend and I found ourselves in the Pskov region. After a cold May, there was a sharp warming, and there was a massive breeding of mosquitoes. The weather was absolutely calm, and there was no escape from mosquitoes anywhere. We are used to the fact that usually with the onset of heat, mosquitoes "leave" in damp and shady places, in bushes, alders, high coastal grass, but, probably, there were too many of them, so they were everywhere. We tried to stop in open places, but even on a hot afternoon, a veil of mosquitoes hung over the sun-warmed meadow. If you sit down, you could see a gray veil over the tops of the blades of grass, similar to creeping smoke. The closer to the river, the more mosquitoes became, especially a lot of them were above the water near the shore. Only in the middle of the river there were no mosquitoes in the air, but even then there was no rest from them, because in the kayak itself there were always several dozen of these vile creatures that bit our legs. And if we approached the blockage, then another cloud of bloodsuckers was waiting for us there. The same thing happened when approaching the coastal bushes and when landing on the shore. It was possible to relax only at night in a tent, but with the sunrise it became so hot in the tent that it was impossible to stay in it. I had to wear trousers and a hooded windbreaker all the time, despite the heat, while I had to move all the time, because mosquitoes would bite through old jeans at rest. There were not only a lot of mosquitoes, they were very active and aggressive, crawling under the hood, in the eyes, in the nose, and even in the mouth while eating. Unfortunately, we did not take mosquito nets with us, and the repellent bottle was used up on the first day. As the evening wore on, the situation worsened: new hordes of mosquitoes crawled out of the damp bushes, which covered the tarpaulin of my orange tent so thickly that it seemed gray. Above each of us hung a personal cloud of mosquitoes. Above each thing lying on the ground (even over a gasoline stove) hung a separate cap of mosquitoes. When we looked at a bush or a tree at dusk, they seemed to us velvet, since dozens and hundreds of these creatures sat on each branch and on each leaf. One had only to hook a branch, as another cloud of mosquitoes flew off it, because of which it seemed that the crown of the tree was bifurcated. The bonfire not only did not frighten mosquitoes, but even attracted them. The mosquitoes were not bothered by the smoke of the fire or the smell of gasoline. It seemed that the next day would come and it would become easier, but it did not get easier. Then we began to wait for a hot afternoon in the hope that the mosquitoes would hide in the shade. It was noon, the mosquitoes really became a little less, but to replace them, without giving us a break, gadflies and horseflies flew in and, even worse, midges appeared. This terrible nightmare lasted almost four days, I already felt hysteria starting somewhere inside me.
And then the weather changed, a light breeze appeared, which gave us the opportunity to stop in open places and undress to our swimming trunks without fear of being bitten. The weather has settled with diurnal temperature fluctuations, with cool nights and cool fresh mornings and an almost complete absence of mosquitoes in the mornings.
I've been in situations like this before, but this one stands out the most.

Now without emotions about our common enemy
Gnus is a collective concept that includes many flying blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes, midges, midges, gadflies, horseflies, etc. The adjective from the word "vile" is vile, which means disgusting, disgusting. Indeed, the first human reaction to these insects is a feeling of disgust and disgust. But the scale of the evil caused by the gnat goes far beyond the limits of psychological discomfort. Mosquitoes and some other representatives of this group of insects are capable of transmitting dozens of different pathogens of transmissible diseases to humans: malaria, filariasis, encephalitis, various fevers, etc. Without going into the wilds of epidemiology, it should be said that the diseases mentioned above are found mainly in tropical and subtropical latitudes, and in Russia - in regions with a warm and humid climate. As you move north (and mosquitoes are found even beyond the Arctic Circle), the probability of “picking up” any disease from mosquitoes decreases, and on the territory of the Republic of Belarus and adjacent regions is almost zero. But this does not mean that mosquitoes have ceased to be the worst enemy for tourists and other outdoor enthusiasts. Everyone knows that mosquito bites cause severe and sometimes unbearable itching. In people prone to allergies, severe allergic reactions are possible. Multiple mosquito bites cause intoxication of the body up to death. If a person who is in nature for several days is not properly protected from midges, then his life turns into a complete nightmare. And it is not at all necessary to go to the tundra for this nightmare: all this horror can be experienced on the territory of the Republic of Belarus in May-July.

There are several methods of relative protection against midges. Let's dwell on this in more detail.

1. Avoid going out into nature during the period when mosquitoes are most active, and in those places where there are especially many mosquitoes.
The method is good, but unacceptable for a number of reasons. This method should be used only when planning children's trips.

2. Proper camp placement.
To do this, you need to know that mosquitoes are most active in the temperature range from 17-18 to 24-25 degrees. Above and below these temperature limits, mosquito activity begins to decline. Other things being equal, there are fewer mosquitoes in dry places than in damp ones. That is why, on a hot summer afternoon, the bulk of mosquitoes are found in damp and damp alder groves, in coastal tall grass and in dense shrubs, especially on the shady side. At the same time, there may be no mosquitoes at all in a clearing in a pine forest. But in the evening, when the sun sets and the air temperature drops significantly, a light fog rises from the lake, and dew appears on the meadow near the shore, mosquitoes move towards the high, sun-warmed shore, and there are practically no mosquitoes in the meadow near the river. Indeed, this is observed in big difference day and night temperatures. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that in open spaces, even with a slight breeze, mosquitoes do not linger.

3. Application of fumigants.
In the campaign, the use of chemical fumigants is possible, but their effectiveness is high only in enclosed spaces. In open space, even in calm weather, the effect of fumigants is more psychological.

4. Application of chemical repellents. Yes, indeed, repellents in many situations are the only and, fortunately, effective tool in the fight against malice. But: repellents never work as effectively and as long as advertised. It is well known that one of the factors that attract mosquitoes is human body odor. If you cleanly wash yourself with soap, smear yourself with repellent and just sit, then the deterrent effect will be long-lasting. But this rarely happens on hikes: you constantly have to do some work and sweat, and washing all the time is not always possible, so the repellent is effective for no more than 30 minutes. In addition, repellents have practically no effect on horseflies and gadflies. In most repellents, the active ingredient is DETA (diethyltoluolamide). The duration of the drug's action is directly dependent on the percentage of diethyltoluolamide itself. But in the same way, depending on the concentration, the toxic effect of the repellent on the human body also increases. In addition, there is an irritating effect when DEET gets on the mucous membranes and, especially, in the eyes. There are recommendations in the literature for use as repellents. essential oils cloves, lavender, mint, lemon balm, various colognes, etc. Tested - ineffective. You can often find irresponsible advice to protect yourself from mosquitoes with the smoke of a fire, such fires even have a name - “smoker fire”. Such advice usually comes from room tourists-theorists.

5. Ultrasonic repellents.
How great it would be to hang a key chain around your neck that emits ultrasonic waves that repel mosquitoes within a radius of one and a half meters! But for now, it remains the dream of many tourists. I have tested three types of ultrasonic repellents: two made in Belarus, the third made in USA. The effect is the same: the dog reacts (which means the device is working), but mosquitoes, unfortunately, do not.

6. ordinary tourist clothing.
Yes, a good jacket with a hood and a mosquito net and trousers made of dense fabric are almost 100% protected from mosquitoes (although the midge gets under the cuffs, but you can deal with this). But, unfortunately, this is not a solution to the problem. traditional clothing protects against blood-sucking insects due to the density and thickness of the fabric that mosquitoes do not bite through. The main disadvantage of such clothing is its heat-insulating properties and the lack of air movement in the space between the clothing and the body (ventilation). In such clothes, a person overheats, sweats and feels discomfort, and when performing physical work, especially in conditions high temperatures, it is impossible and even dangerous to be in such clothes - heat stroke with loss of consciousness and other troubles can happen.
You need clothing that reliably protects against all types of blood-sucking insects and at the same time:

A) does not interfere with the movement of air (ventilation)
b) has extremely low thermal insulation properties
c) protect from direct sunlight.

And there are such clothes!

The proposed clothing is an alternative way to protect against blood-sucking insects. Three models of such clothes are produced with conditional names: "SCUFFANDER", "SCUFFANDER-LIGHT" and "SCUFFANDER-RESERVE". All three models have been field tested and have proven themselves perfectly!
The "spacesuit" model is a two-layer suit made of mesh fabrics with different sizes cells. The outer layer is represented by a fine-mesh mesh, through which a mosquito, midge, tick cannot crawl. The inner layer is a mesh of thick thread with a large mesh (up to 1 centimeter), which does not allow the outer mesh to lie directly on the surface of the skin, and therefore mosquitoes, horseflies and gadflies cannot reach the human body with their sting.

The inner mesh is soft, which gives a feeling of comfort when putting on a suit on a naked body. This suit, worn on the naked body, almost completely protects against insect bites.

The advantage of the suit is not only effective protection against blood-sucking insects, but also a number of other qualities. The fabric practically does not impede the movement of air and is well blown, so even during normal walking the body feels a pleasant movement of air. The outer layer of the fabric significantly retains the sun's rays, which prevents overheating and the appearance of sunburn. The suit-light model is a lightweight version of the previous model. "Space suit-light" is also a two-layer suit of small mosquito netting on the outside and a slightly larger inner mesh.

The total thickness of the nets is somewhat less than that of the “space suit” model, but the protective effect is enhanced by the fact that the top layer slides freely over the inner layer and prevents the mosquito from reaching the skin with its proboscis. Only in the event that the fabric of the suit is strongly stretched and pressed against the body, in places of tight fit, it is possible for a mosquito to “bite through” the fabric. Even slight hand movements, walking and generally active human behavior deprive the mosquito of this opportunity. The “spacesuit-light” suit, worn over a regular T-shirt, reliably protects against blood-sucking insects. Just like the previous model, the "suit-light" does not interfere with the movement of air and ventilation.
Model "suit-reserve". The suit is made of a single-layer mosquito net and is a means of additional protection against mosquitoes and other insects. A “reserve suit” worn on a naked body does not protect the body from a mosquito bite in those places where the fabric touches the body directly (shoulders, upper back). This model is more effective during active human movements (walking, running, any physical work) due to the constant sliding of the suit fabric over the body. The “reserve suit” is even more effective if it is worn over clothing. If a person is wearing light trousers and a shirt that do not protect against mosquitoes, then, in combination with a “reserve spacesuit” protective suit, the protection efficiency can reach 100%. At the same time, heat transfer and "breathing" properties of clothing do not suffer.
All three models have a hood and a mosquito net. The design of the hood and the mosquito net is such that it allows you to keep your hands with a bowl and a spoon inside the mosquito net while eating.

All three models effectively protect against gadflies, horseflies, midges, ticks. If necessary, you can climb into the water in this clothing: the fabric is non-hygroscopic and dries quickly.

In the warm season, many people prefer to relax in nature, enjoying the fresh air with the whole family, or dream of doing their favorite fishing with friends. The only trouble in such a pastime is the presence huge amount blood-sucking insects that spoil all the fun. Therefore, everyone who has encountered such a problem will want to purchase a special suit from mosquitoes and midges.

Purpose, fabric characteristics

A protective suit that guarantees complete protection against annoying and is a fairly popular and reliable way to protect yourself from unpleasant ones. You can buy it in a store, order it online, or make your own.

Special clothes against mosquitoes are divided into 3 groups: men's, women's and children's. Most often, camouflage-colored cotton fabric is used in finished products, which is convenient for hunters and fishermen who wear such clothes in natural conditions. It is practical, because pollution is not visible on it and helps to “merge” with the trees, which is important for hunters who sneak up on animals.

The mosquito net suit is sewn from dense cotton fabric that can pass air, which is of great importance in hot summer weather. But mosquitoes and midges will not be able to bite through it because of the hairiness and thickness. Some manufacturers impregnate with special water-repellent solutions, so the material hardly gets dirty.

Women's and children's products are more diverse in colors, usually sewn from thinner and lighter fabrics, completely covering the entire body.

On a note!

Especially to facilitate the attention of parents, clothes for children are supplemented with sewn-on signal strips, clearly visible in the forest and shining in the dark.

Care of protective suits is quite simple, they can be easily washed in the washing machine, if this is allowed by the instructions. The service life, subject to all the rules of use, manufacturers promise a long one.

Details of protective suits

The main feature of anti-mosquito clothing is a special fabric that has a special "mail" weave of threads. The plexus looks like a fine mesh, which provides good air access to the body, which is important for people in hot weather and allows you to sweat less. The chain mail suit does not allow insects to penetrate the fabric, however, due to this feature, the cost of protective clothing increases.

All details of the costume: trousers, jacket, hood are trimmed with knitted cuffs or elastic bands that prevent the penetration of insects.

Often, a mosquito repellent jacket is sold separately, which is sewn using the anorak model: it is put on over the head and does not have fasteners. Many suits are also equipped with a mosquito net or a mosquito net: it must be worn from above over the head, and it well protects the face and neck from the "assassination" of bloodsuckers.

Troubles in the form of a ruthless midge are an indispensable condition for any outdoor recreation. Painful stings can ruin your favorite fishing trip, an exciting hike or a fun picnic. There are many tools, both folk and popular manufacturers, but not all guarantee complete protection.

One of the most popular and reliable ways to protect against annoying ubiquitous bloodsucking insects is a special suit. Buying it is a rather expensive pleasure, not available to everyone. It is much cheaper to make such a protective agent yourself.

Types of costumes

Available for sale today a large number of protective clothing against different types insects. They are divided mainly into three groups:

• children's;
• women's;
• men's.

Men's are most often produced in the form of camouflage, which is especially convenient for fishermen and hunters. Since such a coloring is not only convenient for being in natural conditions, but also very practical - it does not get smeared in mud (more precisely, spots on such a fabric are invisible), it allows you to sneak up on animals while hunting.

Women's suits are more diverse in colors, although camouflage fabrics are predominantly offered. Due to the special cut, such clothes are comfortable for female figure without restricting movement.

Children are the most defenseless victims of midge and mosquito bites. They also have special costumes. They are very similar to protective clothing for adults, but are made from lighter fabrics and allow you to cover the entire body of the child. Also, many manufacturers supplement costumes with signal marks, which is especially convenient for parents who are afraid of losing their child in the forest.

Short description

In most cases, the suits are made from thick cotton. Such fabric allows fresh air to pass to the body, which is especially important in hot summer weather. At the same time, the access of midges and mosquitoes to the body is completely excluded - they cannot bite through the fleecy fabric or penetrate thick dense cuffs.

Suits that protect against midges and mosquitoes come with a net. This ensures that the face is also not affected by insects. Dense dense tissue does not interfere with breathing, bloodsuckers will not be able to penetrate through it.

A few words about care - clothes are washed that protect against mosquitoes and midges in washing machines, but only if the manufacturer allows it. The instructions for the purchased protective outfit must be followed strictly - this will help to use the suit for a very long time.

Costume Bodyguard and Tundrino

Fabric for protective clothing

A special fabric produced for sewing clothes that protects against attacks of annoying midges (mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, gadflies) has its own characteristics. One of them is weaving (the so-called "chain mail").

From the special weave came the name chain mail, which accurately describes the properties of the fabric. The ingenious interlacing of threads in the form of a fine mesh provides constant access of fresh air to the body, which is important for people who sweat excessively.

A thin lattice weave makes the fabric indispensable for protection against annoying midges and mosquitoes. It is not possible for insects to penetrate through it, but such a convenient pleasure is quite expensive.

Leg protection

Is it possible to create the perfect protection against midges or mosquitoes at home with your own hands? Of course, with a little effort and imagination, this will not take much time.

As you know, most often bloodsucking insects try to attack the thigh area. It is this part of the body that will have to be protected more carefully. Pants made of thick fabric are ideal for this purpose. The ubiquitous midge can get through the cuff, so be sure to stop this possibility with a thick elastic band.

It is very simple to do this - wrap your leg tightly around the ankle over the fabric and sew or tie the ends of the elastic. Of course, the look of the trousers will not be very aesthetic, but the legs will be reliably protected. Flaws:

• poor air ventilation;
• excessive sweating;
• discomfort during active movements in hot weather.

Upper body protection

With the pants sorted out, it's time to move on to the upper body. It goes without saying that the jacket should also be tight, with long sleeves. Camouflage clothing is perfect, it is dense, comfortable.

The ubiquitous midge can easily overcome the barrier on the sleeves, it is better to additionally protect them with thick elastic bands. If not possible, then by all means fasten the buttons on the cuffs.

Another important point- it is better if the jacket is fastened not with buttons or buttons, but with a zipper. It is convenient and reliable. The presence of a hood is also important. With very large concentrations of midges and mosquitoes, it will be enough to pull it over your head and pull the laces at the ends (provided that they are).

Practical advice - it is better to take a jacket bigger size. This will allow you to wear a shirt or sweater when it gets colder, and it will also not hinder movement when walking fast or doing active physical work.

You can increase protection by applying a small amount of insect repellent to the suit. The effect of such aerosols is very short, but if there is an extreme accumulation of midges, then it is advisable to stock up on additional preparations.

Hand protection

It is especially important to carefully protect your fingers from midges and mosquitoes. It is not pleasant that you have to do something in nature, constantly combing itchy skin into blood. Regular gloves for agricultural work will help here.

Ugly? But it is reliable, cheap and practical. Especially if you do this - cut off the fingertips of gloves by about a centimeter. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate this advice, because for them an indispensable condition is the ability to put on bait or quickly remove the caught catch from the hook.

Midges will not be able to bite through the dense fabric of gloves, but no one guarantees that they will not be able to crawl into the gap between the sleeve of the jacket and the mitten. How to proceed here? Remember the previous tip about oversized clothing. By pulling the sleeves down and tucking gloves under the cuffs, you can create an insurmountable barrier against the ruthless bloodsuckers.

Head mesh

So the most important stage in the manufacture of the costume has come - head protection. If the back of the head and forehead can somehow be hidden with a hood, then there is always a risk that the midge will get into the eye, causing very painful sensations.

To prevent this from happening, you will have to make a special mosquito net. If you have any sewing skills, you can sew something stylish and original, everyone else will have to be content with the simplest device in the form of a bag.

Such, to put it mildly, a non-original mosquito net will perfectly protect against midges and mosquitoes, as well as other nasty things that love to spoil your vacation in the forest or near a pond. It also needs its own trick - on the neck, the mesh should fit snugly against the skin - you need to fix it with a scarf, elastic band or elastic soft tape.

Another good option for the summer heat is to attach a mosquito net to a hat or panama. You will get a double benefit - the sun will not burn the back of your head, and insects will not be able to spoil your stay in the fresh air.

This is how easy and simple it is to make a protective suit on your own, which will reliably protect against the invasion of small and large insects. It will cost very cheaply, so this option is perfect for every lover of pleasant pastime in nature.
