About this deal

Midges are a problem all over the UK and their population peaks between mid-July to September. They appear on damp and cloudy summer days and tend to be found near wet ground or dense undergrowth and will most likely be found at either dawn or dusk. Midges or gnats do not transmit illnesses but when they do bite it can often be painful, itchy and can swell up. When the dark cloud descends, it’s not usually a rain cloud that ruins your day of shooting, but a swarm of midges biting your exposed flesh. We have rounded up the best midge proof clothing to keep the bugs at bay and to ensure your day in the countryside isn’t ruined by itchy bites. Experts advise that you wear insect repellent and reapply if you are sweating and cover up in light coloured clothing because dark clothing attracts them.

Did you know midges can detect carbon dioxide from up to 200 metres away? So when you’re on a strenuous walk in the Highlands, walking from drive to drive on the first grouse shoot of the season or stalking stags, they will be able to sense your presence and zoom in for their next meal.

Unrivalled Protection: Shield yourself from the dreaded midges that infest the Highlands, ensuring a bite-free experience. Trousers – These trousers are unisex and have an elasticated waist and cuff. Great for outdoor work and activities. Another top midge proofing tip is from shooters and country sports enthusiasts. Shooters have been raving for years about Avon’s Skin So Soft’s dry oil body lotion for its midge repelling abilities. It is not officially marketed as such by Avon but it comes highly recommended from the Marines and the SAS. It is thought the citronella aroma and the oily base keeps the midges at bay. Unmatched Comfort: Stay at ease and enjoy your outdoor activities without distractions or discomfort.

Allow yourself to be able to sit outside in comfort as the midges are unable to fly or land around your face. The elasticated base and cuffs, keep the midges from climbing up inside, whilst the hood has a zip that runs right over the top so you can easily put a hat inside or whip it off to devour your fried egg butty.The NHS say that insect bites can usually be treated at home and clear up within several hours. However if you are particularly sensitive to insect bites, you may develop bullae – fluid-filled blisters or weals – circular, fluid-filled areas surrounding the bite. If the bite becomes infected or you are concerned about your symptoms you should seek advice from your GP or ring NHS 111.
