Premium Family Insect Repellent

Sawyer Products has been providing technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries since 1984. Their product range includes everything from first aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water.

The Sawyer Controlled Release Family Insect Repellent is an effective solution against ticks and all mosquitoes, including those that carry the West Nile virus. This odorless, non-greasy, and sweat-resistant lotion controls DEET exposure by encapsulating it in a protein that dissolves slowly, releasing the DEET over a longer period of time, up to 11 hours.

The controlled release of DEET extends the duration of an application's effectiveness, making it an excellent choice for parents concerned about their kids' exposure to DEET, as well as for anyone who requires repeated use of insect repellent, such as during a week of backpacking or at summer camp.

Lotions generally last longer than sprays, and since repellents work as a 3-inch barrier, clothing applications can often protect 6 inches away from exposed skin, reducing the need for application on the skin. For optimal protection, it is recommended to use a lotion on the skin and a spray (such as Permethrin) on clothing.

The Sawyer Controlled Release Insect Repellent is compatible with sunscreens, including Sawyer's own Stay-Put bonding base sunscreen. The bonded sunscreen is less susceptible to the solvents contained in the repellent, making it a great choice for those who need both types of protection.

Sawyer offers a full range of insect repellents, from topical lotions and sprays to apply to the skin to Permethrin spray for applying to clothing and outdoor gear. These products provide superior protection from disease-carrying insects, including the yellow fever mosquito that carries the Zika Virus.

In addition to their insect repellents, Sawyer also offers a wide range of other outdoor products, such as water filters, sunscreen, and first aid kits. Their MINI Water Filter, Squeeze Water Filter, and Gravity Water Filtration System provide compact and effective solutions for clean, safe drinking water in the backcountry or during emergencies.

Whether you're an avid hiker, camper, or just spending time in your backyard, Sawyer's products are designed to provide comfortable, trusted protection against the elements and ensure your safety and enjoyment in the great outdoors.
