Made in USA.

Developed in cooperation with the U.S. Military, government agencies, universities, and others; this Sawyer Clothing repellent offers superior protection from disease-carrying biting insects.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 28 reviewers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Parks Sawyer Insect Repellant For those who want an excellent insect repelant this is it. It last thru 3 washing or dozens of trips in the field. Great for ticks and redbugs. June 17, 2011

Rated 5 out of 5 by LB32680 Works just like they said Found 2 lifeless ticks on me and I spent all day in the forest. Without this product, I usually found at least 4 ticks in just a few minutes. Plan to keep a steady supply on hand. May 26, 2011

Rated 5 out of 5 by MikeVA Worth the price! It's expensive, but it's better than lyme disease (speaking from experience). Treat your clothes once, good for weeks, and no smell. I had to buy it online because my local Bass Pro can't keep it on the shelves. May 10, 2011

Rated 5 out of 5 by ctaylor629 awesome stuff I used this stuff for the first time last spring and it is amazing. Went in without it and got covered in ticks. Put my hunting clothes on that i had sprayed and actually watched ticks crawl on me and jump off because they don't like it. Also had some stay on but they died within minutes. If you have a place crawling with ticks, this is the stuff to have. February 2, 2011

Information found on http://www.sawyer.com/permFAQ.html. Sawyer Permethrin products not only repel insects, they actually kill ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, mites and more than 55 other kinds of insects on contact.
. Does Permethrin work against mosquitoes?
A. Yes. Permethrin clothing treatments, when applied following Directions for Use, have been determined to have "spatial repellency" against mosquitoes. This means that mosquitoes will swarm around you, but not light on your treated clothing and bite.
Also use an EPA registered repellent, such as the Sawyer® microencapsulated Controlled Release 20% DEET, on all exposed skin for further protection from biting and blood sucking mosquitoes.
The combination of Permethrin on clothing and DEET repellent on skin forms an "Insect Repellent System." When used as directed on the EPA registered labels, the Insect Repellent System will provide the best protection from biting, blood sucking and disease carrying insects. A well known study conducted by Tom Lillie, Carl Schreck and A. J. Rahe in Alaska in 1987, showed 99.9% effectiveness against mosquitoes biting at a rate of more than 1,100/hr. This protection is far greater than either a DEET based insect repellent or Permethrin can achieve alone.
