How long will Insect Shield protection last?
The repellency of Insect Shield apparel is EPA-registered to last through 70 launderings— the expected lifetime of a garment. This is also well beyond the life of most performance fabric finishes commonly used in the technical-apparel industry. Insect Shield gear repellency remains effective through 6 months of exposure to weathering, or through 25 launderings for washable items.
