Nobody likes being pestered, or worse still, stung or bitten by insects which is why the boffins at Original Buff SA have invented High UV with Insect Shield BUFF®.

Based on the Original Buff®, the Insect Shield Buff® has been impregnated with a special long lasting, effective, odourless and convenient form of insect repellent. Effective for at least 70 washes against mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, fleas, chiggers and midges Insect Shield technology is a man-made version of the active ingredient found in some chrysanthemums but only the bugs will know it is there – not you!

It combines ultimate sun protection and quick drying with the revolutionary Insect Shield® technology which keeps insects away. Breathable, light and comfortable, it is perfect to enjoy outdoor activities in open-air environments without worrying about the sun or the annoying insects.

CoolNet® UV with Insect Shield can be worn as a neckerchief, headband, wristband, mask, hairband, balaclava, scarf, scrunchie, saharaine, pirate cap, beanie or bandana.
