Orvis' BUZZ OFF Insect Shield Insect Repellent Apparel Takes the Sting Out of the Outdoors Wednesday August 6, 5:23 pm ET Orvis introduces clothing that's an effective, convenient insect repellent alternative MANCHESTER, Vt., Aug 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Orvis announced today the launch of BUZZ OFF Insect Shield Insect Repellent Apparel, a new line of insect- repellent clothing, available at select Orvis retail stores nationwide and www.orvis.com beginning in Fall 2003. A full rollout in all stores, dealers, catalogs, and the web is slated for Spring 2004. Company officials expect BUZZ OFF will become the biggest revolution in outdoor technical apparel since the introduction of Gore-Tex® in 1978. BUZZ OFF apparel from Orvis is a high performance and potent innovation in bug repellency. It provides the benefits of a bug spray without the constant reapplication, so the number of insect bites is dramatically reduced without ever having to coat (and recoat) with a spray or cream. That's because BUZZ OFF is in the clothing, not on the skin, so it keeps working as long as the garment is being worn. The new Orvis product provides effective protection against mosquitos, ticks, ants, flies chiggers, and midges or no-see-ums, thanks to its active ingredient, permethrin, a man-made form of an all-natural insect repellent derived from the chrysanthemum plant. It's EPA registered, odorless, effortless, and effective through 25 washings. "We compare the launch of BUZZ OFF to the revolutionary impact Gore-Tex had when it was first introduced," says Orvis Buzz Off Brand Manager, Ryan Shadrin. "It's that kind of a seismic change in the way we think of performance clothing." "Imagine wearing great-looking, casual apparel that also happens to work as well as an insect repellent in preventing mosquito and tick bites. With no odor, no effort, and no hassle. That's no small benefit, especially considering the increase in West Nile virus and Lyme disease across the country," Shadrin said. BUZZ OFF will also be carried by Ex Officio, a Seattle-based company owned by The Orvis Company, Inc. Ex Officio has led the way in outdoor performance clothing for the last 16 years. Their garments are distributed in specialty outdoor, fly fishing, travel, and luggage stores throughout the U.S. and the world. Orvis, the oldest continuously operated catalog company in the country, has been the premier outfitter of the distinctive country lifestyle and sporting traditions since 1856. The company's international headquarters for its mail order, retail and wholesale businesses are in Manchester, Vermont. More details about Buzz Off are available at www.orvis.com. Specific product information, as well as additional background regarding Buzz Off performance will be released in Fall 2003.

This story was just on the news. Pipe Bomb Discovered By Hiker In Park POSTED: 11:56 a.m. EDT May 14, 2003 WAYNE, N.J. -- A powerful pipe bomb found by a hiker in High Mountain Park Preserve was safely detonated, but authorities have few clues as to who put it there and why. An unidentified Franklin Lakes man found the device around 6 p.m. Monday. It was under a tree about two miles into the park, far away from any homes or buildings, and authorities said it had a delicate trigger that was attacked to a bottle. After Wayne police determined that the device was a bomb, they notified the Passaic County Sheriff's Department, which sent its bomb squad. North Haledon police then helped escort the sheriff's officers to the site, and the bomb was detonated a short time later. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms is investigating the matter with Wayne and North Haledon police. High Mountain Park Preserve, which is in both towns, contains more than 1,000 acres. Copyright 2003 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
