Bug Away Pants — Women
Tick-protection pants for women with integrated foot cover. One continuous piece of mesh from waist to toe — no gap, no entry point. Tailored fit, lightweight and breathable.
The Bug Away Women's Pants solve the single biggest weakness in tick protection: the ankle gap. Where most solutions stop — at a sock, a cuff, an elastic band — Bug Away continues. The pant leg flows directly into the foot cover, one uninterrupted piece of noseeum-grade mesh from waist to toe.
No tucking your trousers into your socks. No separate foot covers to keep track of. No weak point for ticks to exploit.
The tailored fit is designed specifically for women's proportions: a clean silhouette that works as a base layer under your regular outdoor trousers or as a lightweight standalone layer on warmer days. The elastic waistband is comfortable for all-day wear, and the mesh breathes freely so you don't overheat.
0.6mm mesh openings. 100% chemical-free. Under 35g per pair. Machine washable.
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 noseeum-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, harvest mites, 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.
