Don’t let the bugs bite
Have you ever noticed that the world’s most incredible places often come with an unwelcome side dose of biting insects? The Scottish midge, the New Zealand sandfly, the Scandinavian mosquito… Come high summer, you’ve got two choices: you either get eaten alive or you slather yourself in Deet and don heavy long-sleeved clothing to fend off the critters. Fortunately, there is a third way. Japanese brand Snow Peak has developed a line of incredibly lightweight mesh clothing that’ll keep you cool while frustrating the biters. All these garments are treated with a safe and odourless ‘Insect Shield’ repellent that’ll keep the bugs away even after repeated washing. It’s a form of permethrin that adheres to the fabric, and is the same stuff the US Army uses in its uniforms. Aside from its bug-proof qualities, this loose-fitting long-sleeve tee is also soft, stretchy and quick-drying, making it the perfect summer travel buddy. The print is somewhere between tie-dye and urban camo, so with any luck those needle-faced bugs won’t even spot you

Snow Peak’s journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
