Permanently treated with EPA-registered permethrin to repel mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, flies, and more—ideal for warm, bug-heavy environments. Lasts up to 70 washes.

• • Built-In Face Mask and Long Tail Hem

Integrated mesh face panel for stealth concealment and extended rear hem to ensure full coverage when bending, crouching, or drawing your bow.

• • Low-Profile Thumb Loops and Tapered Sleeves

Conforms to your head without obstructing hearing or peripheral vision—ideal for bowhunters or ground setups.
