The two pair of pants I use came from different sources. One is made out
of fairly heavy camo material for cooler weather. It's also real tough
if beating through the brush.
The second is a very light pair out of REI. Not sure which one of their
models it is, but it's one of the ones with zip off legs that's also
made of a light material. It's also pretty baggy. I don't get bitten
through them, and they are not too hot for my night recording in
Georgia. The looseness allows plenty of air circulation.
The biting flies here will bite through netting. Though maybe with two
layers it might discourage them.
