Microencapsulated Permethrin
Lymeez products are treated with microencapsulated permethrin bound to every fiber. They provide effective protection from ticks that may carry Lyme disease and other tick-borne bacteria, parasites and viruses. UVA resistant capsules (shown above) only burst by friction of movement—Active Release. Long lasting repellency effectively remains for 50 washings—the expected life of the product.
3D Mesh Confounds & Entangles Ticks
Ticks instinctively explore the pores of the 3D mesh. We call it “Lymeez Land.” The 3D mesh has been shown to slow their climb by 4–8X. Ticks are exposed to repellent longer. Durable—good for yard, field and brush. Secure—ticks are unable to penetrate the bottom layer. Easy on/off wrap. Fits 100% of all adults. Patented.
Proven to Slow Ticks' Climb
Untreated 3D mesh was tested against untreated khaki pants. The distance covered in 3 minutes by 48 adult female deer ticks was measured. Timing was stopped if a tick reached 35″ (89 cm) before 3 minutes which happened most of the time on the khaki pants—it never occurred on the 3D mesh. The median distance travelled by a tick over the 3D mesh was 4.5″ (11.4 cm) vs. 35″ (89 cm) for the khaki pants. The confidence intervals demonstrate a 4–8X slowing of a tick’s ascent with 3D mesh as compared with khaki pants.
Stretch Mesh
Ticks instinctively explore the variable-sized mesh holes—diverting and slowing them on their climb. Great for yard work and outdoor recreation. Pull on stretch knit. Fits youth through adult. Stretch to 12″ height. Lightweight. Breathable. Patent pending.

With so many ticks Around, I wouldn't even think of venturing into weeds or tallgrass without them

If you work in thick shrubbery like I do, don't depend on the Velcro to keep these in place. I lost one in thorn shrubs the first day. I ordered another pair, which a safety pin in place. They do work very well in deterring ticks and even seem to work to repel fire ants!

These leg gaiters are very comfortable, and easy to use. So far, I have found not a single tick after wearing them. My only (minor) complaint is that the velcro "hook" strip attaches directly to the outer material of the gaiter, making the closure light (unlike the standard velcro "hook & loop", which holds on for dear life), and is prone to loosening, especially if it is brushed against something while foraging. Still a great idea, and not uncomfortable in warm weather. Much easier to keep clean than traditional gaiters that have a strap which goes under the arch at the bottom of your footwear, and can get muddy very quickly.

I have been using this product for about 2 years. It does seem effective in keeping ticks from reaching my upper body, but it should be better made. For some reason, one side of each gator, the side without Velcro, is about 2 inches longer than the side with velco. I do not know why and its extra width is something of the problem in that it can catch on things and pull the gator open.The Velcro needs to be wider and more substantial. It can be challenging to get a good seal with it and if something catches the gator, it pulls open too easily. For the cost of these gators, they should be able to provide wider and better sealing Velcro.It would also help for the length and width of the gator to be increased or for them to offer a larger sized gator for those of us with larger and longer calves. Longer is also better because these gators should cover most of the area from heel to knee to provide maximum protection.I have had them fall off, so I also purchased straps with Velcro on them to use over the gator to better hold them on.I do feel that wearing the gaiters has helped to reduce my tick exposure, so I recommend them with the above concerns about them.I hope the manufacturer follows these reviews and responds to them by making suggested improvements. If my suggested improvements are made, I will buy another pair and I would then strongly recommend this product to everyone I know. Without my suggested improvements, I will look for alternative products.

I have a forested acreage in northern Wisconsin where I do a lot of wood & brush cutting and land maintenance in the spring and summer (spring is high tick season as we call it..lots of wood and deer ticks) I see plenty of high grass and weeds filled with ticks. Typically I spray with 40%+ DEET and hope for the best which is to minimize the number of ticks for the day of work.This year I received these Lymeez gaiters as a gift and I will say my buddy who owns the acreage next door thought I was nuts to not use any DEET but long story short, they worked great! Not a single tick attached to date, a couple that I noticed on the gaiters looked very confused and obviously didn’t want to be where they were.The material is comfortable, they look.. nice I guess — albeit a bit strange at first if you’re not familiar. Velcro worked and continues to work well. They say they can be washed without losing potency but I haven’t.Good quality item wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.

I bought a pair last spring, when the only color available was black. They worked great, although I did find that treating my boots with permethrin help keep any deer ticks from navigating between the boot and the gaiter. After some time, the velcro doesn't meet perfectly anymore, but there is plenty of velcro area and it still holds well, I just have to turn the seam toward the back of my leg so it doesn't rub or catch. They have also developed a fuzzy look as I have worn them a lot in heavy cover. The black color is hot if you are in the sun and they material is thick enough that they are a bit warm on a hot day, but I don't find that they change my overall comfort level. Compared to rubber boots, they are much cooler and more comfortable if conditions are warm and dry. I'm ordering a second pair in olive pair today.
