Sawyer Premium Insect Repellent is safe for use on clothing, backpacks, synthetic fabrics, watches, sunglasses, and more.

Review: It works - Really works, and doesn’t leave that sticky feeling. Although has a slight smell. The lotion version is even better
Review: Effective repellent - I took this with me to Sri Lanka and there were bugs around me almost constantly, I didn’t have one single bite in 5 days of living in extreme natural conditions around tea plants. I even found a honey bee in my room that didn’t bite me because I always had the repellent sprayed on me at all times. The spray is oil based however it absorbs in the skin pretty quickly - plus for those who have dry skin. Additionally, I couldn’t smell it on me although I was wearing it at all times. 100% recommended
