Why Permethrin Clothing?

Long story short, more people equals more bugs. Insect-borne diseases are increasing around the world as the population and urbanization do the same. From crowded cities to far-off trails, protection against potential carriers is more important than ever.

How It Works

The tech behind our BugsAway gear has been perfected after years of intensive research and field study. Using Insect Shield’s® proprietary formula, Permethrin is tightly bound to fabric fibers. This creates the built-in BugsAway effect without the use of topical treatments like bug spray and other insect repellents.

Mosquitoes

Over 3,000 breeds flourish in humidity.

Ticks

Lurk in brushy areas as close as your own backyard.

Ants

Species that can bite, burn, or sting are largely found in rainforests.

Flies

One million+ types live everywhere on Earth.

Chiggers

Bite during warmer months & are barely visible to the eye.

Midges

Attack in large numbers at dawn & dusk.
