Insect Shield

Every day, millions of people around the World are exposed to insects that can carry malaria, Dengue fever, trypanosomiasis, filariasis, leishmaniasis, and other dangerous diseases.

Insect Shield’s long-lasting clothing treatment — proven to last through 70 washings on apparel and 25 washings on gear — is a vital solution for people living in harm’s way.

Lyme disease is the most commonly reported insect borne illness in the United States, and has now become one of the fastest growing epidemics to date, while Malaria is responsible for approximately one million deaths worldwide.

Classic Land Rover Magazine – “ideal for trekking”

Machu Trousers which are ideal for trekking. They are lightweight and feature Insect Shield to deter midges and other biting insects… the slim fit is excellent, far better than anything else I own. I’ve used them throughout this summer and they look as good as new. The fabric stretches and is comfortable but does not sag after prolonged use.

THE SUNDAY POST - "THE LIGHTWEIGHT FABRIC IS NICE AND STRETCHY AND VERY FAST DRYING AFTER ANY SHOWER".

I’ve worn these on multiple hill days over late summer and autumn. The fabric is infused with the chemical permethrin, a synthetic version of a naturally occurring substance that has insect repellent qualities. Knowing a few people over the years who have contracted Lyme disease, and have had a miserable time as a result, I’m pretty paranoid about tick bites – so I was very keen to test these. I’ve not had any tick bites or noticed any ticks or noticed any ticks on my legs while wearing them… so I take that as a good sign! The same tech is used by the US Army apparently. The makers claim the protective qualities will last up to 70 washes, which is pretty impressive. These are very comfortable, durable trousers. The lightweight fabric is nice and stretchy and very fast drying after any shower. The right hip pocket has a handy wee inner pocket for keys or other valuables.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS - "LIGHTWEIGHT, BREATHABLE NYLON WITH EXCELLENT STRETCH".

The fabric features Insect Shield technology, a permanent Permethrin treatment for insect repellence, and UPF protection. The lightweight khaki color adds comfort in warm sunshine.
