Review: Unscented, Gear-Safe Bug Repellent for All-Day Hikes - TLDR: Sawyer's 20% Picaridin spray is a highly effective, non-greasy, and virtually odorless DEET alternative. It provides up to 12 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks, is safe for clothing and gear, and comes in a convenient, travel-friendly 3-ounce pump bottle. I purchased the Sawyer Picaridin spray for an extended backpacking trip, specifically because I wanted a highly effective repellent that would not damage my synthetic gear or have the harsh odor of DEET. The 20% Picaridin formula is the star here. It's a synthetic replica of a natural compound found in pepper plants and is widely recognized as one of the best alternatives to DEET. The performance against mosquitoes was excellent; they seemed to simply avoid landing on my skin. The protection is advertised to last up to 12 hours against mosquitoes and ticks and up to 8 hours against biting flies and gnats. While heavy sweating might necessitate a lighter reapplication after several hours, I found the initial spray held up remarkably well throughout the day's hiking. The spray is non-greasy and has a virtually unnoticeable, mild citrus scent that quickly evaporates. This makes it far more comfortable to wear than oily, strong-smelling traditional repellents. Crucially, it is safe for use on all clothing and gear, including synthetic fabrics, backpacks, and plastics, eliminating the worry of damaging expensive equipment. The 3-ounce pump bottle is TSA-friendly for travel and easy to pack. Pros Long-Lasting Protection: Effective for up to 12 hours against mosquitoes and ticks, and 8 hours against biting flies, gnats, and chiggers. Gear-Safe Formula: Will not damage plastics, synthetic fabrics, or other outdoor equipment like DEET can. Comfortable Wear: Non-greasy and has a very mild, virtually odorless scent that quickly dissipates. Highly Effective: 20% Picaridin is a top-rated, proven ingredient comparable to DEET in efficacy against a wide range of pests. Travel-Friendly Size: The 3-ounce pump bottle is ideal for carry-on luggage and is easy to store. Cons Reapplication in Heat: Heavy sweating may require reapplication sooner than the stated 12 hours. Tick Efficacy: While effective against ticks, some users prefer to pair it with Permethrin for clothing for maximum tick defense. Verdict This is a clear 5-star winner for outdoor enthusiasts. The Sawyer 20% Picaridin spray offers superior protection without the drawbacks of traditional repellents—no harsh smell, no greasy feel, and no damage to gear. It’s perfect for long days on the trail, fishing, or camping, and the twin pack of 3-ounce bottles makes it excellent for travel and ensuring you always have a backup. It is the definitive modern choice for insect defense.
Review: WORTH IT - Brought this for a trip to the Philippines and it did not disappoint. Last time I went I had several bites but this time I only had 5-7 total after a two week trip. I tried to reapply around every 24 hours, after a swim/shower, and/or before sleep. I nearly used the whole 3oz bottle during the duration of the trip, which might seem expensive for some but to me, was worth it since I used it often and it was effective. The feel of the spray on skin may have been impacted by the overall heat + humidity I was in because it felt slightly greasy to me, though nothing unbearable. The smell is very mild. At one point on the trip, I saw a mosquito buzzing around me, failing to find a successful landing place. It had gotten to a point where I trusted the spray so much, I was out at night in shorts and a tank top. I recommend this stuff for sure!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: About how many applications for legs, arms, neck, face do you get from one container?**
A: I use the lotion and it works fabulous. I live in a heavily wooded area with a larger stream running through it in Indiana. I use it generously on my legs, feet arms neck and ears. All bugs stay away with one application. Now if one was working in the humidity or HOT sun and sweating, you prolly have to reapply it. I think this product in the lotion form is amazing, so much, that I bought a huge container of it last summer.

**Q: Is this product effective against mosquitos that have the chikungunya virus?**
A: That is the aegypti mosquito(yellow fever mosquito) and it works for them also..they bite all day so its important to use products no matter what time of day.

**Q: Has anyone used this in the carribbean?**
A: I used this on a 4 day trip to Parque Tayrona and Minca (Colombia) May 2019, I used the lotion formula reapplied 1-2 times a day (if I jumped into water) and it worked great, only had 2-3 bites and that was because I didn’t reapply fast enough. ;)

**Q: Is the pump spray or the regular spray better?**
A: Regular sprays would be easier

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well and smells good
*by W***Z on December 20, 2025*

Keeps unwanted insects away, I've been using it for a few months now and I've only gotten bitten once or twice while using this and the bites were in areas I didn't spray. It smells surprisingly really good, though it is a little on the oily side. Regardless this has saved me from being eaten alive by mosquitoes.
