Dengue fever, where the number of infected people is increasing day by day. As of September 18, a total of 133 cases have been confirmed in 17 prefectures.

An effective measure to prevent dengue fever is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes that carry the virus. Insect repellents are commonly used for this. However, some people may not want to use a commercial insect repellent. The "Hooded Zip Up Mosquito Jacket" may be recommended for such people.


"Hooded Zip Up Mosquito Jacket" is a "wearing mosquito net" that covers your face completely. It is a jacket type, and you can prevent insect bites to some extent by putting it on your regular clothes. The insect repellent loses its effectiveness in a few hours, but the Hooded Zip Up Mosquito Jacket keeps you protected from insect bites as long as you wear it.

It is sold on the US mail order site Hammarcher Schlemmer. A case that is convenient to carry is also included. The price is $ 59.95. A separate shipping fee of $ 75.95 to Japan will be charged.


Hammarcher Schlemmer also sells the "Wearable Mosquito Net", which is lighter than the "Hooded Zip Up Mosquito Jacket", and the "Wearable Mosquito Net (Pants)", which is a pants type that protects your feet from insect bites.



If you wear these, you may not be afraid of outdoor events.
