Our Vision
We are aiming to reduce vector-borne illnesses worldwide by offering stylish, comfortable insect-blocking gear designed for everyday outdoor life. Every year, over 700 million people are affected by mosquito-borne diseases, with nearly 1 million losing their lives. Tackling a challenge this immense requires multiple solutions working together—and we’re proud to be part of the effort to make a difference.
How It's Different
Mosquito net clothing has been around for over 100 years—and for good reason, it works! Traditionally, though, it’s been designed for outdoorsmen, often in olive green or camouflage, to blend into deep woods. The problem? It wasn’t exactly something you’d want to wear in public. Stylish mosquito net gear simply didn’t exist—until now.
Mozzie Style created ShrugBug for everyday people tackling everyday outdoor activities. Our ultra-lightweight, breathable designs are perfect for gardening, golfing, camping, outdoor concerts, hiking, kayaking, and so much more. We combine practicality with style, so you can enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing comfort or confidence.
We are a small U.S. based, privately-owned company. We love to work directly with long term customers to create new products, refine sizing and more. Have an idea/feedback you want to share? We'd love to hear from you!! Reach out here.
Insecticide-Free & Eco-Friendly
Experts originally recommended that we treat our products with Permethrin. This was pretty common in 2016 and it is considered safe for humans, so we thought that it certainly couldn't hurt in our fight against mosquitoes and ticks!
We donned our rubber gloves and respirator masks and started dipping that first batch of products and hanging them to dry on a clothesline in the backyard. We came out 20 minutes later to find several dead bees and a butterfly on the ground below the products. We weren't aware that Permethrin killed ALL insects on contact and that bees were especially susceptible! We decided then and there that we would work extra hard to create products that are insecticide-free and environmentally responsible.
All of our products are insecticide/pesticide free and are reusable.
