Review on Insect Shield Sport Heather Large by Chris Mania

Revainrating 1 out of 5

They are ineffective. Don't waste your money and don't get eaten alive.

Didn't help stop fly bites while camping at BWCA. I had high hopes but how to cheat. I blame myself for not reading the fine print. They're impregnated with a 0.25 permethrin solution, which is half the recommended amount, or half the amount a product like Sayer makes for your own clothes. INEFFICIENT! I've worn them in the worst conditions I've ever seen in my 30 years of BWCA training. I bought them for both my son and myself thinking I was a smart son of a bitch. Not correct. I wish I could give them zero stars. Don't waste your money on them because they don't work. You need a solution of at least 0.5 to prevent something. By the way. I bought 4 pairs. Tried two, got home and threw the other two into a ring binder unopened.

Pros
  • Repels vermin and insects. Comfortable anti-insect socks provide extra protection from insects when you go outside. Our socks are a comfortable and stylish way to repel bugs during any outdoor activity. The repellent stays in the socks, not on the skin. You can't say it's there, but bugs can. Insect Shield is an insect repellent you'll be happy to wear
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model
