Greetings fellow CPF'ers --

Recently saw a newspaper article which mentioned
a brand-new line of outdoor clothing.

This clothing is made from fabric which has a "mosquito-repellant" built right in.
And it won't (it is claimed) wash out.

Anybody know WHAT brand(s) i should search for ?

And WHERE can i purchase it ?


(and for extra Bonus Points . . . .)

Has anybody already TRIED this, and reached an opinion ?


Sounded pretty interesting to me, but can't recall any specifics.


Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

I remember Ex Officio selling certain clothing items that repel insects. I never bought any though for camping/hiking. Sounds good nonetheless. Try your local camping/hiking/packpacking outfitter. I know REI sells the brand.

Yep 021411 is right.
I've seen them at REI many times, though I haven't purchased any Buzz Off clothing nor tired this stuff out yet. I haven't seen any other brands, though I haven't looked too much as bugs aren't such a huge problem out in my area.
