ROVINCE Shield tick-protective socks

Coolmax fabric

These tick-treated socks help keep feet dry and fresh for longer. The breathable, absorbent material transports moisture away. The socks provide effective protection against ticks for anyone who frequently spends time outdoors.

Comfortable and durable

The ergonomic design follows the shape and movement of the foot for comfort.

Seamless

Seams can become uncomfortable during long walks, forestry work or similar activities. These socks have no seams, eliminating the risk of uncomfortable chafing caused by them.

Biological insect repellent

The socks are impregnated with the biological insect repellent IR3535.

This is a passive form of protection. The substance stays securely in the fabric and is not released spontaneously into the environment. The clothing therefore has no distinctive odour, and unlike spray-on insect repellents, the substance cannot be inhaled into the lungs.

Tick-protective clothing is recommended only when entering areas where exposure is likely. This reduces the need for washing and helps the tick protection last longer.

The clothing is manufactured in accordance with the World Health Organization's guidelines and requirements. Rovince clothing has been dermatologically tested and complies with the Dutch standard for specially impregnated fabrics (NEN-8333). All fabrics are also Öko-Tex certified and therefore safe for people and the environment.

Tick protection lasts for 100 washes

Rovince tick-protective clothing is manufactured using a unique method. Whereas finished garments are normally treated with the protective substance, Rovince applies it at an earlier stage of production. The fabric is impregnated first and the garment is made from that fabric afterwards.

This provides more effective and longer-lasting protection because the substance stays more firmly in the fabric and only a very small amount is lost with each wash. The tick protection lasts for as many as 100 washes.
