During one summer holiday with the children, the youngest aged 3, had to be treated in hospital following a severe reaction to mosquito bites - unfortunately the repellent recommended for children had caused a nasty rash and the Costas could not find a suitable alternative. Contemplating the situation in the waiting room of the hospital, George promised himself that he would use his company's expertise in textiles engineering to create the perfect personal insect repellent for people of all ages that would overcome the disadvantages of traditional solutions.

Today, iFabrics are produced exclusively by ProActiv Textiles on state of the art fabric manufacturing technology using their proprietary know-how and expertise.

iFabrics, the culmination of over three years of intensive development by ProActiv are produced using specially selected fibres that are then re-engineered to create a unique 'Vapour Release System' (VRS).

Working with world-renowned centres of excellence in the field of Entomology (insect studies), ifabric TechnologyTM addresses the deficiencies of products currently available in the market place. By utilising natural and renewable resources, synthetically optimised to provide higher levels of insect deterrent properties, iFabrics offer on-demand protection once rubbed or worn.
