This website will take you to the FAQ page.

<Put off bugs and sun with this innovative new line of apparel. Thanks to the patent-pending BUZZ OFF Insect Shield� process, this clothing has proven to be extremely effective against mosquitoes, ticks and other annoying and potentially disease-carrying insects. A complete outfit of BUZZ OFF� apparel by Ex Officio will enable you to enjoy the outdoors while reducing the nuisance of applying nasty insect-repellent lotions and sprays. And you'll repel more than insects. We've also included 30+ UV protection in this line.

Odorless Insect Repellent - Highly effective against mosquitoes and ticks which may carry malaria, dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease and encephalitis.

Sun Protective - Many garments in the collection provide 30+ UV protection.

Moisture Wicking - The fabrics in these garments are designed to wick moisture.

The first insect-repellent clothing registered by the EPA.>>

I'm getting them!

Don't care what I look like.....

I'm sure it would make me feel a bit safer in the woods! And would love to muster up enough confidence to go back to them.

They are definetely worth a try!

Thanks for the info, Ann-OH!
