Has anyone else noticed a petroleum smell after this stuff dries? Sprayed 0.5% solution (1 Oz 10% permethrin to 19 Oz water) and after spraying it until wet and drying in the shade for 2 days and being washed with scent free detergent I can still smell it.

I used the elimitick clothes 3 or 4 years ago. It is great and had no perceptible chemical smell. I would say the tick repelling properties last at least 3 seasons depending on how much you wash it.
First off its made in China. It catches on briar easily but so far seems fairly tough. Im sure it will tear if you rip threw briars. After a few days of checkin out a tick, chigger, mosquito, and spider infested swamp I like the Elimetick. Some mosquitos got to my face but not terrible. No ticks or chiggers got to my skin. Naturally alot of spiders and webs in the face. I like it more than my coverall pre sprayed. I like I can just grab it and go.
I buy the concentrate stuff off Amazon and spray everything liberally. I make a gallon at a time with distilled water. It does have a smell after drying. More so than Sawyers but at a fraction of the cost. They say it last like 6 washes or so. I don't care and reapply after every wash. Overkill? Yes. But I know too many people with Lymes and would rather have treated clothes with a slight smell. I still kill nice bucks BTW.
