Insect Shield® in the Field


In 2007, Bill Kizorek donated one million frequent flyer miles and video production crews to charity to film in Thailand, East and West Africa, and Cambodia. Malaria and other bug-related diseases were an issue at all the destinations. Even though Bill spent over $900 in vaccinations, he wrote ExOfficio that he felt his best defense against disease was his combination of ExOfficio shirt, pants, socks and hat tightly bonded with Insect Shield.

Bill Kizorek
Dear ExOfficio:

We had to take promotional photos recently that involved walking through a forest. There were three of us. One of the girls came back and had nine wood ticks crawling on her. The person who was being photographed was wearing an ExO Insect Shield shirt and pants. She had no ticks.

The puzzling part of the story, for a while, was that the photographer (me) had no ticks and no Insect Shield garments... until I looked at my socks and saw the ExO Insect Shield label. Nice job ExO!

-- Bill Kizorek


Read About Other People's Experiences with Insect Shield™

“After multiple washings and 30 consecutive days of testing Insect Shield™ products in the mosquito-infested swamplands of Illinois, I have yet to get a bite.”

Brian Brawdy, Outdoor Gear Expert

“ … as we filmed along the papyrus-lined Blue Nile I noticed something almost immediately … the backs of the sweaty shirts of my team-mates were dotted with mosquitoes and other insects, and they interrupted their chores with constant slapping. At the end of the day their skin was welted and reddened from insect bites … but I had none. The Insect Shield™ apparel worked to a degree that made work in the tropics comfortable and efficient, and I emerged from the month of shooting with nary a bite on my body.”

Richard Bangs, Producer of the IMAX film The Blue Nile

“Dear ExOfficio, I just got back from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. Your Insect Shield wear was a life-saver! Thanks for providing such an innovative and potentially life-saving product.“

Nicole L., MD, Honolulu, HI
