Clothing and insect protection
Hello, for this trip does it make sense to spray your clothes with permethrin for mosquito and insect protection? Also, should I plan to wear long sleeves for sun and insect protection? How about long pants versus shorts? Thank you!

We almost always wear long sleeves for these kind of trips. The islands are on the Equator so the sun is intense. You can always roll up your sleeves. We are going again in the summer and I will also take thin shorts for the wet landings so they dry more easily. Don’t forget a broad brimmed hat. Oh gosh, I look so young from all this sun protection 😂😂😂😂
No harm in spraying your clothes, they are protected through many washes so you could use them for other trips. If you cover up with long sleeves, you need less repellent on your skin.
