I just got my new vertice rain pants today. Amazingly light, as expected, but it occurs to me that maybe the material isn’t mosquito proof? One use of my rain gear on past buggy trips was to throw it on at camp if mosquitos are unbearable so I can move around, set up, cook, etc. Anyone know if the Vertice material is a barrier for bugs that they can’t bite through? I’ve been bit through merino base layers many times!

I have/had the ZP Vertice rain jacket. Wearing a tee underneath I don't get bit on the forearms.

Thanks. this material is just so lightweight. Will be interesting to see how it performs!

I wore my vertice rain pants through the mosquito infested southern most two miles of Baxter State Park and had no issues with biting on my legs. I thought that was a good test.

Happy Hiking!
