Bug-Repellent Clothing from KJUS

At KJUS, we understand that the perfect round of golf depends on more than just your swing. Environmental factors can cut your round short and keep you from doing what you love. While our ski line has long addressed thermal regulation to keep you on the mountain longer, we've turned our innovative mindset to another challenge golfers face: insects.

Beyond Chemical Solutions 

Our designers recognised a gap in the premium golf apparel market – effective, elegant protection against mosquitoes, flies, and gnats that doesn't rely on harsh chemicals. While bug-repellent technology exists in camping and fishing gear, the golf world has been left to rely on chemical sprays that can irritate skin and harm the environment.

KJUS has changed that equation with our revolutionary bug-repellent clothing, setting the standard for both performance and comfort.

Microcapsule Technology: Innovation at Work

The secret behind our bug-repellent clothing lies in cutting-edge textile innovation. Each garment is treated with microscopic capsules bonded to the fabric fibres. Under magnification, you would see what looks like tiny bubbles covering each thread – these capsules contain pure, natural citronella oil.

As you move throughout your round, the natural friction creates a controlled release of citronella, establishing a protective microclimate around you. This ingenious technology provides continuous protection without the need to reapply synthetic sprays every few hours.

Natural Protection, Premium Performance 

Unlike conventional bug sprays containing DEET and other traditional repellents, our citronella-based solution offers several distinct advantages:

  • Skin-Friendly Protection: The natural citronella compound is gentle on skin, eliminating the irritation often associated with chemical repellents.  

  • Environmentally Conscious: Our solution minimises chemical impact on the natural ecosystems of golf courses.  

  • Seamless Integration: Protection becomes part of your premium apparel, not an additional layer or spray.  

  • Continuous Effect: The microcapsule technology provides lasting protection throughout your round.  

Designed with Purpose 

This innovation reflects our forward-thinking approach to performance apparel. By identifying obstacles that might prevent golfers from maximizing their time on the course, we've created a solution that aligns perfectly with our philosophy.

"This mosquito repellent clothing came from us consistently thinking about our end customer and always looking two steps ahead for what issues would prevent them from staying out all day long," explains our product development team. "If you're on a course with heavy insects, that would deter you from staying out longer. This technology came from us looking into that and trying to help you do more of what you love."

The KJUS Difference 

While field testing continues with serious golfers who have reported excellent results, the early feedback confirms what we expected – this technology showcased in our Men's Pine's Polos represents another breakthrough in our quest to enhance your experience on the course.

The integration of natural bug repellent technology into premium golf apparel demonstrates how KJUS pushes the boundaries of innovation to help athletes live Beyond. Above. With this advancement, KJUS redefines performance golf wear, helping you stay out longer, play better, and enjoy every moment on the course.
