I am looking into purchasing this clothing for all of the warm weather hunting I do. I removed 2 ticks last weekend because I forgot to spray myself. It says it will keep ticks/chiggers off for up to 70 washes and the repellent is scent free and in the fabric.

$89.95 for a ultra-lite shirt and $89.95 for ultra-lite pants, you can buy a lot of permethrin for what you'll pay for Elimitick clothing.
I finally tried permethrin and in sold it was super easy and effective. I'll treat all my hunting and hiking clothes going forward
I use Permethrin on my clothes. Works great!! :icon_thumright:

Agreed!
I sprayed Sawyer's permethrin on my clothes and ground blind this year. Not one tick. I don't know how many I had on me and my blind last year but it was one too many.
Been using the Game Hide ElimiTick pants & polyester shirt for the last 3 or 4 years. I've only had one tick to get on the back of my head or neck area. But I also spray down with insect repellant also. This season I also bought some Sawyer's permethrin & sprayed on my clothing & vest also. Can't really say if it works or not because I used the bug spray also. I would say it probably helps for a while but after so many washings I'm sure it loses it's effectiveness.
