We have come a long way from the days of insect spray and bug zappers, first with insect repellent clothing and now the insect blocking patch. When worn, the new Kite Mosquito Patch enables you to go virtually undetected by mosquitoes for up to 48 hours. It's like an invisibility cloak for insects.
As bug season quickly approaches, many outdoor companies are releasing gear with insect repellent integrated directly into the fabric, such as Columbia's Insect Blocker, Insect Shield, and Schoeller's new Inzectic. At the same time, consumers are moving away from synthetics such as DEET and looking for more natural products.
