Mosquito repellent beachwear from Boots

If you're bugged by the bugs when you go on holiday then this may provide the answer, Boots are now offering a range of sarongs and bandanas impregnated with a highly effective mosquito repellent and these are fast becoming the latest 'must-have' holiday accessories.

Tried and tested
The Arnywear™ mosquito repellent fabric technology has been tested by The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and they know a thing or two! Simply rubbing or scrunching the fabric up will activate the 'Vapour release system' and provide protection from mosquitoes, midges, horse flies, ticks and other biting insects.

The Arnywear™ mosquito repelling agent used in this clothing is eco friendly and made from natural sources that are not harmful to you or the environment. They promise no skin irritations and a pleasant aroma.

The range
The range includes insect repellent teen and adult sarongs, mini sarongs and matching bandanas, all in a choice of holiday colours and designs. Sarongs are so versatile – wrap them round you on the beach or use as an evening wrap when the bugs are busiest. Use as a throw for the bed or sun-lounger; or even use them as a table cloth for a bug free picnic.

And don't just save them on your beach holiday, take them anywhere the insects may bite – the bandanas will be great on water sports holidays or on walking trips in Scotland to help protect you from the infamous Scottish midge. The sarong will have many uses on camping trips and if you are cycle touring the sarong will not only help protect you from the evening insects, it makes an excellent, easy to pack, light weight alternative to a skirt.
