Welcome to L.L.Bean Behind the Design, where we give you an insider’s look at how our team of designers and developers bring some of our most innovative products to life.
In this episode, we speak to Ryan, Senior Merchant, about our revolutionary bug protection clothing. Treated with permethrin – a synthetic version of the natural bug repellent chemical in chrysanthemum flowers – these pieces feel, wear and wash like normal clothes, but help keep biting bugs like mosquitos, blackflies and ticks off. Just put them on and you’re protected – no bug spray required.
Special thanks to our friends at Burlington and their No Fly Zone® Insect Repellent Technology!
