I bought a pair of these for an extended trip through Southeast Asia and wish I had bought two more pairs. The socks repel bugs well. They are comfortable in a range of climates, even hot and humid weather. They won't smell even when worn under leather boots and for several days of heavy walking. They can be easily washed in a hotel sink and dry quickly. All in all, these socks are one of the best products I've ever purchased for travel.

Insect Shield clothing is the best sun-blocking bug fighter I've encountered for work or play in the outdoors. Safe, no messy sprays, no hassle, lasts the life of the garment. There's a reason the U.S. military has embraced this technology. It's safe, easy and it works! I've worn these Insect Shield-impregnated socks every weekend for two months, working in North Carolina woods, lawns and fields inhabited by deer -- beautiful but dangerous and annoying bearers of ticks. These ticks are ubiquitous, requiring a careful body search when we come inside because they're potentially dangerous (in recent years I've contracted both Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis from tick bites, though fortunately, both were quickly whacked by antibiotics). I've also been attacked by swarms of chiggers - too small to see, but outrageous in their ability to cause insane itching. Since wearing these socks (and Insect Shield pants and long-sleeved T-shirt, all moisture wicking and sun protective) I've had no ticks, chiggers, mosquitoes or bug problems of any kind. My wife bought some also - same outcome from gardening, mowing etc. University of North Carolina research has reinforced the Insect Shield technology: [...] By the bye, though I'm a Tar Heel, I don't own any part of the company and have no affiliation with any of this beyond being a customer who's delighted to find such simple, safe and inexpensive relief from bug torture. It doesn't eliminate the bugs from the environment. It just keeps `em off the wearer of the Insect Shield clothing. And for my money, that's as good as it needs to get. I'll leave it to our neighbor's guinea hens to eat the ticks etc. Finally, the bugs aren't riding into the house on us!

Received very quickly. Comfortable fit. Will tuck in bugsaway pants into socks for maximum protection. Look forward to protection from ticks
