MosquitNo is a company that specializes in inventive bug repellent products, including placemats, bottle coolers and polo shirt designs.
The brand's polo shirts for men and women may not seem to be any more notable than the average polo shirt design, but there's something that makes them truly unique. As MosquitNo describes, these biological cotton garments are "impregnated with a mosquito repellent."
The polo shirts provide insect protection up to 50 washes and with each wash, the insect-repelling properties are rebooted. Previously, this use of nanotechnology was only applied for military use, but MosquitNo developed a product that's now available to any consumer who has an appreciation for the great outdoors and a disdain for annoying insects.
