Insect Shield Sport Crew Socks: Comfortable Insect Protection

These Insect Shield socks offer a comfortable and convenient way to help protect against insects like ticks and mosquitoes. Featuring an EPA-registered permethrin repellent built into the fabric, these socks are designed to repel a variety of pests, including mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges (no-see-ums).

Fabric and Construction The socks are made from a blend of 49% polyester, 47% cotton, 3% rubber, and 1% spandex, providing a durable and breathable fabric. The cushioned sole and ankle design ensures all-day comfort during outdoor activities.

Long-Lasting Repellency The Insect Shield treatment is tightly bonded to the fabric fibers, resulting in long-lasting repellency that is expected to last the lifetime of the garment, up to 70 washes for apparel and 25 washes for gear.

Recommended by Health Authorities The use of permethrin-treated apparel, like these Insect Shield socks, is recommended by various health organizations, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Proven Effectiveness Numerous studies and independent laboratory tests, such as the World Health Organization's Tube Test in 2016, have confirmed the effectiveness of Insect Shield's permethrin-treated clothing and gear as an insect repellent. This technology has been EPA-registered since 2003 (Reg. No. 74843-2).

Invisible, Odorless, and Long-Lasting Unlike topical bug sprays, the Insect Shield treatment is invisible, odorless, and does not require reapplication. It does not absorb into the skin, leaving no sticky residue.

Global Partnerships and Applications Insect Shield Technology is utilized by over 75 lifestyle brands, workwear distributors, and international relief organizations worldwide to provide effective protection against insects and the diseases they can carry. Since 2002, Insect Shield has treated all U.S. Army combat uniforms issued to soldiers with their long-lasting, odorless bug repellent.

Insect-Borne Diseases and Protection Millions of people are affected by insect-borne diseases every year. Insect Shield is proud to work with international relief organizations to help protect those most at risk with their insect repellent clothing and gear.

In conclusion, the Insect Shield Sport Crew Socks offer a comfortable, durable, and effective solution for protection against a variety of insects, making them a valuable addition to any outdoor enthusiast's wardrobe.
