Pang Wangle

Our eco-friendly clothes contain odorless and safe bug repellent technology so you can have more fun outside. In our soft and versatile styles, you'll also look good doing it. Better travel and outdoor fun starts when you can ditch the sticky, smelly bug spray and relax. Protection lasts 70+ washes. Easy care - just wash and wear. Buzzfeed called our Essential Wrap “the perfect blend of stylish and functional.” Travel Pulse said “it’s one of those head-slapping concepts that should have shown up a long time ago.” Global warming is expanding insect habitats, and vector-borne diseases are on the rise. Our Insect Shield® products can help reduce overall pesticide use while keeping you safe.

/paNG waNGlə/ v. 1. To go along cheerfully despite minor misfortunes.

Pang Wangle is a vintage American phrase that reflects our optimistic approach to enjoying the outdoors – despite those little bloodsuckers - with the right clothes and the right attitude.

Founder Story
'What's that perfume you're wearing? Oh that's bug spray.' I've had this conversation too many times. As a lifelong mosquito magnet with a healthy fear of ticks, I found myself carrying it around in my purse and sometimes slathering it on day and night - to walk the dogs, sit on the porch, or go to an outdoor party. It collects fuzz and glitter and it smells, y'all. And it's really not good for the environment.

I searched for a better solution and found this innovative Insect Shield technology, which was developed 2 decades ago for the U.S. military. But the clothes felt heavy, utilitarian, and they were not very sustainably made. With Pang Wangle, we're creating a line of classic, elegant styles in lightweight, earth-friendly fabrics you can dress up or down and wear every day. The reality is that global warming is expanding insect habitats and diseases spread by insects are on the rise worldwide. It's time to adapt.
