Until I wised up, stopped using the hardwall windows with the leaky screens, and instead used the softwall screens soaked in bug repellent. Much better
We haven't sprayed our screens with repellent yet. Thanks for the tip on the hard-wall screens (that probably includes the door screening)! Interesting.
When we used the Outfitter in the Southwest, we were out of gnat season and territory; so when we do, in the future, get back into that area and in gnat-dom, will make note use only the softwall screens. Waking up in the morning with hundreds of gnat bites wouldn't be my idea of fun.
Those gaiters that Jefe 4x4 wrote about: I got mine (full-length, with belt clip/snap) from Cabela's back in ~1995 (they are really the snake chaps, double as brush walkers), I used them in Central America in 120+ F and 80%+ humidity. So, in bone-dry 115F (or so) and 15% humidity or less, they would be like tropical linen pants LOL! :D
