Bug Away Kids Set
A physical barrier bugs can't bite through, made for kids. Sealed from the sewn-on hood to the ankle, so there's no gap to reach their skin — no DEET, no permethrin, nothing sprayed on your child.
Jacket and pants together for kids, sealed from hood to ankle with no gap to reach through. Lightweight No-See-Um-grade mesh, no DEET, no permethrin, nothing on your child's skin. The set costs less than the two pieces apart.
Kids run through tall grass, tumble in leaves, and sit in the dirt, exactly where ticks wait. The Bug Away Kids Set keeps them covered from the sewn-on hood to the built-in foot cover that seals the ankle gap, without a single moment of play lost.
The whole set weighs next to nothing and packs into its own jacket pocket. Light enough that they'll forget they're wearing it, while it keeps bugs off their skin.
Both pieces are cut from the same No-See-Um-grade mesh as our adult range, with openings smaller than 0.6mm. It is a physical barrier that ticks, mosquitoes and black flies cannot bite through, and it works without any permethrin, DEET or spray touching your child's skin. Just mesh.
The hood uses a safe elastic trim instead of drawstrings, made for children's safety standards, and the pockets are deep enough for the frogs, rocks and flowers that always end up in kids' hands.
Bought on their own, the two pieces cost more than the set. Buy them together and you save, then add three more sets and the fourth is free.
Everything you need to know
Won't I overheat wearing an extra layer?+
No. The mesh is specifically designed for airflow. It weighs under 80g for the full suit and breathes freely in summer heat. Most customers report no noticeable temperature difference. The mesh creates a physical barrier without trapping heat the way solid fabric does.
Does it actually stop ticks?+
Yes. The mesh openings are smaller than 0.6mm. An adult deer tick is approximately 1-3mm and physically cannot pass through or bite through the weave. It's the same principle as a window screen, engineered into wearable clothing.
How do I wash it?+
Machine wash on cold, gentle cycle. Hang dry or tumble dry on low. No special detergent needed. The mesh maintains its integrity wash after wash with zero loss of protection, unlike permethrin-treated clothing that degrades after 5-6 washes.
How does it fit over my regular clothes?+
Bug Away is designed as an over-garment. You wear it right over your hiking clothes, fishing outfit, or gardening gear. The fit is slightly oversized by design so it floats over your base layer without restricting movement.
How long does it last?+
Years. The No-See-Um-grade nylon mesh is durable and doesn't degrade with use or washing. There's no chemical treatment that wears off. As long as the mesh isn't torn, the protection is the same on day one as it is on day one thousand.
What about mosquitoes and other insects?+
The mesh blocks any biting insect larger than 0.6mm. That includes mosquitoes, black flies, no-see-ums, gnats, and horse flies. If it bites, the mesh stops it.
What if it doesn't work for me?+
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you get bitten through the mesh, we'll refund you in full. No questions asked.
