Not repellent
Used first time out of packaging in Sawtooth Mts on a multi-day trip. Watched mosquitos land, walk along mesh, probing through holes in mesh until they found a place where the mesh met my clothing or skin. Then - 'bite'. So, these are no more effective than plain netting; the supposed insect repelling nature of the permethrin in these had no effect at all.

Makes living in the wilderness enjoyable.
I love this netting and the pants that you can buy with it. The netting kept mosquitos and horse flies from biting me. This netting was definitely a successful buy and made my trip enjoyable.

Can the hood be unzipped and used without the jacket?
The head net is sewn onto the jacket at the back neckline, and does not separate from the jacket.

Is there some kind of tenting system to keep the mesh away from your delectable, sweaty, blood-rich flesh? They can get through a t-shirt or fleece or and number of other materials. What's stopping them from biting through the mesh?
There is not a system designed to keep the mesh in the Insect Shield Bug Jacket and Mitts off your skin. The jacket and mitts are both treated with Insect Shield which is bonded into the fabric. This prevents bugs and mosquitos from biting through the mesh.

how do I determine what size to choose male and female?
Sizing is based on chest and waist measurements which can be found in the details tab on REI.com. For example, a medium fits a 38 - 40 inch chest and 32 - 34 inch waist.
