Railriders have an 'insect shield' in some of their clothing. Good for 70 washings ,they claim.

I see that Railriders sells Adventure clothing and also sells 3M Ultrathon 
insect repellent.
That's not the same as the ExOfficio Buzz Off clothing products which 
effectively repell insects and ticks.You don't have to apply the repellent to 
the cloths. Look it up on the web.
