What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I treat my hiking clothes and packs with this before trips into buggy terrain. One application lasts through the whole adventure, and it makes a noticeable difference with ticks and mosquitoes. It's easy to apply evenly and doesn't change how my gear feels." When bugs threaten to ruin a trip, we reach for Ben's Clothing & Gear 6oz Insect Repellent before we even hit the trail. Designed to treat clothing and gear rather than skin, this powerful formula creates a reliable barrier that keeps biting insects at bay, letting us focus on miles, views, and campfire nights instead of swatting. Using a CDC-recommended 0. 5% permethrin formula, the treatment bonds to fabric fibers to repel and kill insects on contact-including ticks and mosquitoes-while remaining effective through weeks of use and multiple wash cycles. The continuous spray makes application quick and even, whether we're prepping hiking pants, socks, packs, or tents. From deep woods to shoulder-season camps, it's a simple step that pays off all trip long.
