Nobitech is the first athletic apparel line with the latest Skintex technology that repels mosquitoes which could be carriers of Zika Virus.
Each of the performance tees, jackets and pants are designed with an apparel treatment, known as micro-encapsulation technology — the only one of its kind to be approved by the EPA.
Each product is created to repel mosquitoes and other harmful insects, like ticks, fleas, chiggers, ants and flies, that may carry the virus.
The fabric contains capsules with a slow-releasing synthetic repellent that is deadly to insects but non-toxic for humans. Fortunately, while the material protects humans from dangerous diseases, it is also comfortable and breathable for the wearer.
Nobitech just hit the market in July. It offers men's and women's athletic pieces and gives consumers the option to customize their own repellent clothing. Check out some of the latest Nobitech products below!
