  • Great first piece of Permethrin gear.
Size: Large Color: Khaki
Amazing socks, thick and durable enough to be comfortable, perfect size, have lasted well over 50+ miles of hiking and backpacking without thinning or tearing. No insect bites in or around the feet, I can't directly say that's because of the socks, but it is true, well worth the money if your looking for Permethrin gear. Great product, thank you so much. ... show more

  • Comfortable for sure!
Size: Medium Color: Charcoal
Do they repel or deter insects? I don't really know, that's hard for me to prove. I can say that our ankles didn't have any bites at the end of the day, but I can't say that they would have without the socks. I *can* say that they're super comfortable for a full day of camping and trail hiking, so that's a win for us! ... show more

  • Less Worry
Size: Large Color: Khaki
With the increase of ticks and tick borne diseases these make me feel better protected while doing my yardwork. Not boundary ticks on me since I started using these.

  • Bring them with you on adventure
Size: Medium Color: Khaki
Took these on safari and never got a mosquite bit. So I presume they worked. They are also incredibly comfortable socks. I did get a tick bit on the head which hurt like crazy for weeks. Guess I should have worn my socks on my head.

  • Item runs big
Size: Medium Color: Charcoal
I ordered these socks to wear with my gardening shoes to try to keep the chiggers off, because spraying bug spray on your feet, shoes, and legs doesn't do a lot of good when it just gets rinsed right back off while you're watering plants. Also, I'm allergic to wool, and a lot of similar products from other companies contain wool. The socks seem to be good quality, but they run big. I wear a women's size 6.5 shoe, and, according to the size chart, the medium adult size was supposed to fit me. As you can see in the photo I included, the heel in the sock doesn't match up with my real heel. Not even close. Unfortunately, the company doesn't seem to offer an adult small. I could probably wear a size medium in the youth size, but that size seems to be out of stock in that style. I can still use these, because, let's face it, who cares how they look when I'm out working in the yard getting dirty? However, if I liked them, I was going to order a couple more pairs, and I won't do that now, since they don't really fit. I guess I'll have to wait until they get around to restocking the size medium in the youth style. Oh, well. Also, although they are described as lightweight, I would describe them as more of a medium weight. I was hoping for something a bit lighter weight, since it gets really hot in Texas in the summer, but that's OK. The thickness is not a deal-breaker, and the thicker ones might be better at repelling bugs. I haven't had a chance to try them out, to see if they really work, but permethrin is a tried and true insect repellent, so I'm not too worried about that. The takeaway here is that if you have a small feet like me, you're not going to be able to get a product that actually fits until they restock the youth sizes. If you have an average or large foot, you probably will be able to find a size that fits you. These are reasonably-priced for the quality, and pricing is very good in comparison with similar products from other companies. ... show more

  • They worked very well, and I bought extra ones for my family to have next year.
Size: X-Large Color: Khaki
Chiggers and sand fleas were biting my family's ankles for many days. I tried multiple different products, and this was the only one that worked. You can't wash them with your regular clothes; however they worked very well on the Florida beaches.

They are comfortable and seem to repel the bugs. I like wearing them.

  • When you live around ticks and mosquitos, these allow your feet to go into the woods unscathed
Size: Medium Color: Charcoal
They are comfortable and come up over cargo pants or jeans and stay up. The bugs don't like them. I use them only when I have to go into deep woods and swampy areas, because they say to wash them separately from your other clothes, and they DON'T say what they're using. I have to make myself remove them when I go inside, because they're so comfortable. They say they last through hundreds of washing - my socks never last that long! I've gotten the medium weight ones too, and they are fine when you're wearing boots. ... show more
