A max-strength repellent in a size that's ideal for backpackers.
LifeSystems says:
With a revolutionary new formula, Expedition MAX DEET mosquito repellent has been developed to replace the Expedition 100+ insect repellent but with half the amount of DEET. It combines the proven performance of 50% DEET with unique DermaLOC® technology that locks the repellent on the surface of the skin to provide long lasting protection from malarial and non-malarial mosquitoes.
Expedition MAX can be applied multiple times a day to provide round-the-clock protection. It can also be applied to larger areas of exposed skin (e.g. wearing shorts and t-shirt), unlike many other high-strength repellents on the market. This makes it practical in real-life conditions, especially in warmer climates.
Our Verdict
LifeSystems's Expedition MAX DEET Mosquito Repellent is super-strong. The promise of 24 hour protection is a big ask, but the performance is definitely there. The small size is also great for taking this backpacking.
