Thank you, Knight, for my first undisturbed night’s sleep in the Kosine Mountains.

When we veered away from the old trapper path and began the march toward Kosine to set up base camp, I knew what was waiting for us. I had advised my hunting guests to cover themselves well with the best mosquito repellent you can buy for the money. Otherwise, life would become unpleasant, to say the least.

The hunting guests soon sighed under the torment of mosquitoes and black flies – wilderness scourge number one. The fact is that I prefer to deal with irritated bears and savage wolves. Well, I didn’t have the heart to tell them what was waiting for us when evening came and it was time to go to sleep. Evening came and the torment of mosquitoes became worse and worse. In my pack I had a prototype for an anorak with built-in mosquito protection – made by Knight. I unpacked it, pulled it over my head – my hat got to stay on my head – pulled up the hood, took the solidly assembled facial netting out of the breast pocket, got a hold of the zipper grip and closed the net in front of my face. A wonderfully liberating feeling took hold. Outside mosquitoes and black flies were swarming. There I was inside – inaccessible for sucking snouts and the biting fly jaws. My hunting guests desperately looked for protection in their tents and fought an uneven fight against the blood-thirsty flies, which succeeded in slipping in through the openings despite every preventative measure imaginable. I just kept the anorak on, of course. Fantastic! It meant quite simply the difference between a really good night’s sleep and hardly any sleep at all. I have promised Lars Björkman at Knight to give my opinion of their new anorak. Here it comes…
Knight’s anorak – appropriately called Mosquito – is one of the absolute best pieces of wilderness gear I have tested in all of my years in Canada. My recommendation to every mountain hiker, fisher, hunter, nature photographer… everyone who is outdoors during the summertime is this: Buy one! I can’t be more clear.
