Staff Review: Loop Mygg 2.0 Jacket – The Best Defence Against Scottish Midges?

Staff Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (9.5/10)
A premium midge jacket that genuinely transforms evening fishing on Scottish lochs.

If you've spent any time fishing in Scotland during summer you'll know that midges can quickly turn the perfect evening into an endurance test. One of our team decided enough was enough and put the Loop Mygg 2.0 Jacket through several weeks of real-world testing.

Real-world Performance

After several evening sessions on local lochs, the jacket proved to be a genuine game changer. The integrated mesh hood keeps midges away from your face without feeling claustrophobic, while visibility remains excellent.

💡 Staff Tip
Wear a peaked cap underneath the hood. It lifts the mesh away from your face and gives a much wider field of view while casting.

Comfort & Features

  • Lightweight breathable fabric.
  • Elastic cuffs keep insects out.
  • Zipped chest pocket.
  • Packs away easily.
“The Loop Mygg Jacket has made evening fishing a pleasure rather than a chore.”

Even during the recent heatwave the jacket remained comfortable to wear. It's undoubtedly a premium option compared to a simple head net or midge smock, but after trying more basic alternatives this was comfortably the best option I've used.

Final Verdict: If you regularly fish Scottish lochs or rivers during midge season, the Loop Mygg Jacket is one of those purchases you'll appreciate every single trip.

What really sets the Loop Mygg Jacket apart from alternatives is the technology behind it. Rather than simply acting as a physical barrier, the fabric is treated with Burlington's No Fly Zone® insect-repellent technology, an invisible and odourless treatment inspired by natural compounds found in chrysanthemum plants. It works by encouraging biting insects such as midges and mosquitoes to fly away before they can land, while remaining effective for up to 70 washes. Combined with the full mesh hood, snug elastic cuffs and hem, and a generous zipped chest pocket for essentials, it's a thoughtfully designed piece of kit that's built for anglers who refuse to let clouds of midges dictate when they can fish.
