Bug Away Kids Set
Complete tick protection for kids. Jacket + pants set designed for safe outdoor play. Safe elastic at the hood (no drawstrings), integrated foot cover and extra pockets for nature treasures.
Kids run through tall grass, tumble in leaves, and sit in the dirt — exactly where ticks wait. The Bug Away Kids Set keeps them protected without restricting a single moment of play.
The jacket and pants are made from the same noseeum-grade mesh as our adult range — openings smaller than 0.6mm that physically block ticks, mosquitoes and harvest mites. The hood uses a safe elastic trim instead of drawstrings, designed specifically for children's safety standards.
The pants include the same integrated foot cover as our adult version — one continuous piece of mesh from waistband to toe, no ankle gap, no separate parts to lose. The pockets are deep enough for the frogs, rocks and flowers that always end up in kids' hands on outdoor adventures.
Chemical-free. Machine washable. Gentle on sensitive skin. Safe for kids of all ages.
Lyme disease is not just an adult concern — children are particularly vulnerable due to time spent at ground level where ticks are most active. Bug Away gives parents one less thing to worry about.
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.
