April 1997, the bear hunt guide gave full warning to expect black flies and ticks on my trip into the wilds of Manitoba the following month. He could not have been more spot on, I had never seen ticks like that before or since. Not a fan of the chemical repellents at the time of his warning, I opted for my first Rynoskin suit. I spent much of my time on that hunt flicking ticks off of me in the tree stand and smashing them with my flashlight in the camp tent at night. After five days in the Canadian bush, not only was I successful in taking a bear, I came home without a fly or tick bite to show. Fast forward to June 9th 2017. I was pushing through a week of aches, pains and sickness, when my wife woke at 1:00am to find me sweating profusely...The bulls eye found on my lower back confirmed the diagnosis then and there, Lyme Disease. Now after putting my hands on the new Rynoskin Total there is no doubt having one would have protected me. This new version is an upgrade in the quality of material used and its overall coverage. The reinforced stress points, overlapping pieces, gloves, socks, and hood, places it far and above any other chemical-free insect protection on the market today.
