Introducing the BugsAway Apparel Line: Innovative Insect Protection for Your Family

Fabric Type: Wool Care Instructions: Machine Wash Origin: Imported Pattern: Solid

The BugsAway apparel line offers a unique solution for protecting your family from biting insects and the diseases they can transmit. Crafted with innovative Insect Shield technology, these garments provide long-lasting, odorless, and invisible bug-repelling protection.

BUILT-IN RETENTION: Spandex is woven throughout the fabric, ensuring the garments retain their shape and fit, even after extended wear and washing.

REDUCED SAGGING & SHIFTING: Turn-welt tops on the socks keep them securely in place, preventing annoying slipping and bunching.

EXTRA SUPPORT: The built-in arch support provides all-day comfort, even during the longest days on your feet.

SEAMLESS TOE CLOSURE: The seamless toe closure reduces irritation and chafing, keeping your feet comfortable and blister-free.

But why is Insect Shield technology so important? Biting insects can pose a serious threat, particularly in tropical and temperate regions around the world. Consider the following:

Fire Ants: Found in many parts of the world, fire ant stings can cause chest pain, nausea, shock, and other severe reactions.

Black Flies and Sandflies: These biting insects are common globally and can transmit diseases like Sandfly Fever and River Blindness.

Chiggers: Prevalent in southeastern Asia, India, and northern Australia, chiggers are likely to bite in late spring and summer, potentially transmitting tropical Typhus.

Midges: Also known as "no-see-ums," these tiny biting flies typically attack at dawn and dusk, often in large numbers, causing irritating skin reactions and intense itching.

Insect Shield technology binds the bug-repelling active ingredient Permethrin to the fibers of the fabric, providing effective protection that lasts for up to 70 washes. This treatment is invisible, odorless, and has no unpleasant feel, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind.

Unlike traditional insect repellents, BugsAway apparel offers continuous, hassle-free protection. The garments can be machine washed, bleached, starched, and pressed, without compromising the Insect Shield treatment. However, it's important to note that dry cleaning should be avoided, as it can remove the protective treatment.

Embrace the freedom of outdoor adventures and everyday activities with the confidence that comes from the BugsAway apparel line. Protect your family from biting insects and the risks they pose, all while enjoying the comfort and durability of high-quality wool fabrics.
