What is Rovince Anti-Tick Clothing?

With the game shooting season now what seems to be a distant memory, most of us now look forward to what we hope will be a good Summer. However, with this invigorating time of year also comes the need to be on the lookout for one of the UK’s most feared parasites, the tick, as this is when the larvae becomes most active. With somewhere in the region of 3000 cases of Lyme disease contracted each year from ticks, these spider like creatures are not to be overlooked.

Tick bites can occur when;

• Working with wildlife

• Working with carcasses

• Working with livestock

• Forestry activities

• Recreational activities

• Hunting

New to BushWear for Spring 2014, Rovince Clothing offer a range of specialist tick resistant clothing. These garments are specifically designed for outdoor workers and heavy day to day use. At the core of their fabrics is the revolutionary Zeck-Protec impregnation, a clever treatment which repels ticks at the first hurdle and creates a thermal barrier over the garment. This barrier stops ticks being able to grip the garment and makes them fall off, meaning they never get a chance to find a way onto the body. If they can’t track over your clothing, they can’t get to your skin.

Zeck-Protec is completely safe, odourless, skin friendly, UV proofed and machine washable.Thorough testing by various European Agencies have proven Zeck-Protec is 98% effective in protecting wearers against tick bites and will remain optimal even after 80 washes. Ticks and the associated Lyme Disease have become a well documented and increasing concern in the UK. Lyme Disease can be very debilitating and with its apparent rise every tick bite a lottery of potential infection. Gamekeepers & stalkers run an especially high risk of contracting tick borne diseases because their job naturally entails working in tick rich environments. With the consequences of Lyme Disease being so serious it makes sense to take all the precautions you can, and indeed employers are obliged to protect their workers. Compared to other methods, Rovince clothing is a simple, mess free and effective solution to the real problem of the tick.

So why wear Rovince as P.P.E (Personal Protective Equipment)?

• It’s odourless, skin friendly, UV proofed and machine washable.

• It’s safe and certified as professional tick resistant clothing.

• No post - treatment is needed.

• Optimal results even after 80 washes. Zeck-Protec remains active on clothing for a long period of time.

Therefore, Rovince anti-tick clothing gives you the freedom to concentrate on your work or stalking trip, and the peace of mind you will only be bringing home your quarry and no hitch-hikers. Next time one of our Bush Pro Staff will be putting the Rovince Duofit Trousers to the test.
