People try to stick to facts when you are posting. DEET does not effect NYLON:



"...Only apply DEET formulations to exposed skin; do not apply to areas underneath clothing. Do not apply DEET formulations on or near plastics, acetate,rayon, Spandex, synthetic fabrics (other than nylon), furniture finishes, leather, watch crystals, and painted or varnished surfaces. Plastic glass frames and goggles should be protected from DEET applications. Car finishes and interiors also may be damaged by DEET. It will not damage nylon, cotton, or wool fabrics...."

"...Laboratory tests performed have shown no appreciable damage done to nylon fibers by contact with insect repellents containing DEET (Test #0559). ..."

"...nylon 6,6 just like all the other climbing ropes. The tests have been
done...deet is not a concern..."
