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.
“I’ve packed BugsAway for the jungles & rainforests of Panama. I expected it to be adequate. I didn’t expect to love it.”
”I’ve worn BugsAway shirts, socks, and pants to Central America & East Africa. The proof is in my utter lack of bug bites, despite usually getting them by the score.”
”While doing microbiology field work on the North Slope of Alaska, the insects were epic. BugsAway performed excellently.”
”I just moved to Mississippi, seemingly home to every biting insect known to man. This apparel honestly does keep the bugs away."
”I took my gear on a camping trip amidst the EEE virus outbreak. I was comfortable on hot days & confident during peak mosquito hours.”
