What makes an anti-tick sweater for women effective

The sweaters are made from yarns that are treated with a tick and insect repellent. This ensures that the effect is woven into the fabric and remains active for up to 100 washes. Permethrin is the substance Rovince uses for impregnation. Thanks to permethrin, ticks that come into contact with the sweater are irritated and fall off before reaching your skin. 

Standards and safety of ladies' anti-tick sweaters

Rovince clothing complies with the NEN-8333 standard, which is the Dutch standard for protective clothing treated with permethrin. The clothing is considered personal protective equipment (PPE) when it meets these requirements. This makes it clear how safe the sweaters are for regular use and how long the effect lasts. 

Maintenance and use of women's anti-tick sweater

You achieve the best protection by treating the sweater according to the washing instructions. Avoid fabric softener and wash at a lower temperature (such as 30-40 °C) to maintain the effectiveness of the treated yarn. Furthermore, it's important for the sweater to fit well to your body, especially at the cuffs and collar, to prevent ticks from finding a way in. Combine the sweater with other anti-tick clothing to minimize exposed skin.

When to wear a women's anti-tick sweater

An anti-tick sweater is ideal when you need an extra layer against the cold outdoors. For example, during morning walks in early spring or as an extra layer under a jacket during outdoor tasks. The sweater not only provides insulation but also protection against ticks and other small insects.
