I've also had someone ask me about insect proofing the hats. I couldn't find anything I could wash into the material, and honestly, I don't think I would feel that comfortable doing that unless it was essential oils, but then I assume they would have a smell. Anyways, I couldn't find anything you could do yourself, but you can send your clothing into http://www.insectshield.com/ and they will treat your clothing with their Insect Shield (http://www.insectshield.com/PDF/IS%20Your%20Own%20Clothes%20-%20U.S.%20form.pdf). It's the same product that all the big companies use when you see clothing that has bug protection. Even Soy Genius Organic clothing uses it. Insect Shield provides effective, built-in protection against mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges (no-see-ums) including those that can carry dangerous diseases such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease. There's such nasty little critters out there. I may have to try this out!
