Joey Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Columbia sent me an email that said "Say Goodbye to Your Little Friend" Anyone tried this yet? If so, how was it? Here's the link: Columbia Bug Repellant Clothes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuck Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 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.

kickingfrog Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adempsey Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 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.
