The 30-pack of braided PU leather bracelets offers a different tactile experience than standard silicone coils. The braided design uses a synthetic polyurethane leather that is high in tensile strength, making it durable for various uses, including as a hair tie or gear marker. Specifications indicate that the repellent oils—primarily Citronella and Geraniol—are applied to the surface of the braid. This design leads to a strong initial fragrance that is most effective within the first few hours of exposure.
For the busy parent, the individual resealable bags are a helpful organizational tool to prevent the unused bands from losing their scent while stored in a gym bag or glove compartment. The elastic core within the braid allows the band to expand, though care should be taken not to overstretch it, as the internal elastic can lose its "snap" if pulled too far. Because the repellent zone is localized to 2 to 4 inches around the band, these are best used in low-density insect environments.
These bands are DEET-free, providing a layer of comfort for pediatric use where direct skin contact with synthetic chemicals is a concern. The multi-functional nature of the braid makes it a versatile item to keep in a travel kit or mudroom organizer.
If you prefer a material that is specifically engineered for a slower release of oils, the Cliganic PE coil bands utilize a micro-porous polymer for a different diffusion profile.
