⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pirscher Gear Tanatex Ultralight shirt
"Light, breathable, and extremely comfortable to wear. The tick protection works exceptionally well — with other clothing I always had lots of ticks on me. On this shirt, they simply fall off. The quality is absolutely convincing."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pirscher Gear Ripstop Tanatex Pants
"These trousers are incredible. We tested them during this extreme tick season. With "normal" trousers, we always had lots of ticks on them — every single time. With Tanatex, they had no chance. The ticks fall off within a very short time. On top of that, they are extremely lightweight and breathable. The quality is also highly convincing."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pirscher Gear Ripstop Tanatex Shorts
"The Tanatex shorts are ideal for the warm season. Super lightweight, very comfortable, and still durable — exactly right for long days outdoors. The material is pleasantly breathable and dries quickly. All in all, an excellent summer pair of shorts that I can absolutely recommend!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pirscher Gear Tanatex ladies shirt
"A truly great blouse for hunting and leisure. The material is lightweight and breathable, dries quickly, and stays pleasantly fresh even after extended wear. I really like that the sleeves can be rolled up — perfect for hot weather. The insect protection is a real advantage, especially in summer. Practical, functional, and still femininely tailored — exactly what I was looking for."

Frequently asked questions about the Pirscher Gear Tanatex System
FAQs about Tanatex®
Tanatex® is an odourless insect repellent based on permethrin. The active ingredient permethrin has been used in insect-repellent clothing for over 20 years and has long since proved its worth in the military sector.
The product works according to the "hot feet" principle: for example, if a tick crawls over a piece of fabric that has been treated with Tanatex®, it instinctively lets go immediately, as if it had "burnt its feet". The same happens with mosquitoes. They take off again immediately after landing. The insects' survival instinct prevents them from approaching the fabric.
The Tanatex® treatment has a long-lasting effect and is wash-resistant. It remains durable for up to 40 washes.
Yes, Tanatex® is harmless to human health. The product is approved for direct skin contact and fulfils international safety standards. The World Health Organisation (WHO) even recommends the active ingredient permethrin contained in Tanatex® as a pesticide for public health. The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment has also categorised Tanatex as harmless to health.
The product is also safe for dogs . It is oftenused as a tick repellent in various preparations, e.g. as a spot-on, and is well tolerated.
However, permethrin can be harmful to cats , so you should avoid contact with your pet.
Yes, all our products with Tanatex® insect protection can be washed in the washing machine as normal. However, we recommend following the care instructions on the label to ensure the longevity of the insect repellent and the garment itself.
FAQs about Silvadur
Silvadur™ is an antimicrobial treatment based on silver ions. It prevents microorganisms from multiplying in the tissue. This inhibits the development of odours and combats the formation of perspiration odours. As a result, clothing stays fresh for longer and needs to be washed less often.
The antimicrobial effect of Silvadur™ is retained even after frequent washing. The technology is permanently embedded in the fibres of the garment, providing long-lasting protection against odour build-up, typically over the lifetime of the garment.
Yes, Silvadur™ is well tolerated by the skin and is even OEKO-TEX certified. The product is approved for direct skin contact and fulfils international safety standards.
Yes, all our products with Silvadur™ can be washed in the washing machine as normal. We recommend following the washing instructions on the garment label to maximise the longevity of the garment.
