The S.C.R.U.B.S. Insect Repellent Wipes are built for heavy-duty use, featuring an oversized 8x10 inch cloth that allows for full-body coverage with a single unit. The wipes use a 20% Picaridin formula, which tests show is effective against mosquitoes and ticks without the plastic-melting risks associated with DEET. The non-woven polymer substrate is designed for high tensile strength, ensuring it won't shred when applied to rough skin or outdoor gear.
The 100-pack canister features a moisture-lock lid with a high-density gasket seal intended to prevent the volatile carrier from evaporating. While the canister is robust, the plastic hinge can become brittle if left in direct sunlight for long periods, so storing it in a shaded area is recommended. This bulk format is best suited for vehicles, campsites, or job sites rather than lightweight backpacking.
- Oversized wipes provide significantly more surface area than standard consumer brands.
- 20% Picaridin is safe for use on synthetic fabrics and sunglasses.
- Lower chemical odor compared to industrial-strength DEET products.
For a more portable version of Picaridin protection that you can carry in a pocket, the Repel 15-count travel pack is a great alternative.
