Shannon Products

Shannon Outdoors has dramatically ramped-up the features of its popular and patented Bug Tamer insect protection garment system. Now, there is a specific twin-mesh Bug Tamer Plus (or the economy single-mesh Bug Buster Plus and BIG LEAF Bug Buster Plus) for every outdoor activity and these garments are stronger and lighter to withstand any rugged challenge.
Louisville, GA -- For 2003, the garment designers and testers at Shannon Outdoors have ramped up the features of their patented, twin-mesh DoubleGuard® Bug Tamer® Plus insect protection system. Bug Tamer® Plus is lighter and stronger than ever, but retains its unique ability to keep biting insects away from your skin ... without requiring irritating spray-on chemical repellents. The result of the improvements - and thousands of successful hunters and fishermen claimed the original Bug Tamer® could not be improved on - is that you will find greater, user-friendly benefits in the line-up of hooded jackets, pants and mitts. Clothing that is World Class for any outdoor activity.

  1. A DoubleGuard® Bug Tamer® Plus uses a new specially designed no-see-um mesh. It's more than twice as strong as the original, but still allows excellent ventilation. It's ultra-lightweight and ultra-tear-resistant, too.

  2. The inner mesh layer of the patented DoubleGuard® Bug Tamer® Plus still holds insects away from your skin, but is now cut and sewn from materials that are 50% lighter than the original. That means you have a cooler, more comfortable garment on even the hottest days.

  3. The new Bug Tamer® Plus effectively addresses a hunter's number one enemy - managing the human body's natural odors. The Bug Tamer Plus fabric is manufactured using advanced CONTAIN® scent control technology. It can't wash off and it can't wear out ... for the life of your garment.

Bug Tamer® Plus involves three design upgrades. 1. Jacket pockets are roomier. They have been moved forward for easier use. 2. The jacket hood has been redesigned and the face shield is dyed black at eye level, dramatically improving vision through the mesh under any lighting conditions. 3. The biggest camo leaves in the industry are individually stitched onto each BIG LEAF Bug Tamer® Plus. This makes the BIG LEAF Bug Tamer® Plus superb camo, a totally effective biting, stinging insect-proof system and so light and comfortable that you can hunt successfully in a tee shirt and shorts.
