Bug repellant in your clothes

[Joey]

Columbia sent me an email that said "Say Goodbye to Your Little Friend"

 

Anyone tried this yet? If so, how was it?

Columbia Bug Repellant Clothes

The ad is good. People with short sleeves, skirts, no socks, nothing on their necks or faces.....BUT they have bug repellent T-shirts and shorts. I'm sure someone won't notice that though and load up on the schmata....unbelievable.

If there is a piece of skin exposed that doesn't have repellant on it, it will get chewed no matter we wear.

Leave it to Columbia to come out with a line of repellant clothing.

I'm with Roy on this.

Ya, I noticed that Roy, too funny

Ahhh, the Marketing machine at work. I'd love to see a Columbia exec go out in the outdoors where the black flies and mosquitoes roam with just these clothes and no other repellants on him/her.

Tightly woven nylon clothing.

 

 

It's the only way I could have stayed sane for 6 weeks in the Arctic summer. I need to dig out the photo where is looks like I have a fur shirt.

I keep reading a lot of good things about Thermacell and that uses a synthetic analog of the natural repellent pyrethrin from chrysanthemums as well. So, perhaps the Columbia clothes are "wearable Thermacells" and it forms a "repellent" barrier around you? Beats me. Would be interesting to see some reviews.
