Now there's one more reason to wear Buff Headwear: Not only will the popular facemask-style products keep damaging UV rays off sensitive skin, they'll also keep the critters away!

New from Buff comes Insect Shield UV headwear, which binds insect repellent to the mask's fabric to repel mosquitoes, no-see-ums, flies and any other nasty critters commonly encountered when fly-fishing in salt waters. The insect-shield technology lasts up to about 70 washes, the typical lifespan of a Buff garment. Not only will these products protect you from insect bites, they'll keep you safe from dangerous diseases and viruses these pests carry. The active ingredient is permethrin, a safe, man-made version of a natural insect repellent found in plants, which has been used in the U.S. since 1977.
