Title: Permethrin and First Lite
Post by: stykbow67 on April 08, 2014, 10:15:00 PM
Has anyone ever sprayed Permethrin on First Lite Kanab pants?? I've used it on cotton pants with no ill effects but not sure how it will react with wool/poly blend any thoughts??

I haven't tried it but I wouldn't think it would hurt anything. I know that you can't spray deet on nylon or rayon because it will eat it up. I've sprayed permethrin on about everything but wool (I don't have any that I wear except for when it's cold, then ticks aren't an issue) with no ill effects.

I soaked  some clothes in the stuff and it didn't seem to make a difference.  Used it on asat leafy suit and it didn't melt.

I have sprayed it on cotton, poly, wool & wool blends and never had a problem at all.
