It was created by a well-known fashion designer/activist when she noticed that one of her cousins had lost most of her hair due to a reaction to a chemical in one of her father’s tanning products. She has since used this chemical free natural product to create many other sock products and now uses the “sectoid” method of creating their socks. In this way the Insect Shield Socks is both a fashion statement and a way for her to save the world.
While there are many different types of socks, such as wool, cotton, silk, or synthetic, none has stood the test of time as the Insect Shield has done. This type of socks have an SPF rating of 15 and are both waterproof and breathable so you don’t end up getting stung by mosquitoes or any other insect while out and about. And while these socks aren’t exactly cheap, they are definitely worth the money. You are practically paying money for a pair of socks these days.
