I believe the treatment they use is permithrin. You can buy it as well in spray bottle form to coat your own gear. It holds up to a number of washes.
I have treated my own gear with permethrin before traveling to tropical areas with lots of insects. never needed to apply any other repellent to my skin, and never got bit once. treatment lasts about 6 washes before you should re apply. permethrin does not harm your clothing like DEET.
I was interested too and then I saw that it lasts 70 washes, on the product description. I guess that's reasonable considering you don't usually wash jackets regularly. However, If you do wear this often that 70 washes will go quickly!! (and I'm sure somebody is generous)... I'm sure it's a nice jacket, but I've decided I'll save that money for something else and a bottle of spray-on repellent

I think that 70 wash number is just marketing, the chemical can be degraded by sunlight/UV which is the main reason requiring reapplication and not really because of washing.
Here in South Florida, mosquitoes and other bugs are a big problem around sunset. I'm not likely to buy a new "BugsAway"wardrobe from ExOfficio, but being able to treat my existing stuff is appealing.
Something like this spray? "Ben's Clothing and Gear Insect Repellent Pump Spray Bottle, 24-oz" for $16 [amazon.com]
