It's a little late in the season to try this insect repellent and give what I'd consider a really fair review but I'll give it a go. I sprayed it on my legs and noticed right away that it had a good "feel" to it. It doesn't have much of an scent to it and what little I could whiff wasn't objectionable. Sprayed it on my grandsons legs. They were eager to help test the product. It seemed to work as none of us got bug bit or had any negative reaction to the spray.

Not even sweat bees bothered me after putting this on. Mowed down about two acres of long grass and high weeds that creates clouds of displaced bugs but this time they let me alone the whole job. The spray is a fine mist that applies evenly for complete coverage and it lasts at least several hours. There is a caution to not spray in enclosed areas. I started to apply in the open garage before taking the tractor out and had to step outside as this is potent stuff. Maybe that is why the bugs don't like it. But I like it and will be using it any time I'm out when bugs are around.

Repel Sportsmen Max Insect repellent consists of 40% DEET. I have noted this compound in other repellent products that I have used over the years. By itself, DEET is very effective, but recurrent applications of 100% DEET is not advised. The spray bottle permits ease of application, but I still recommend rubbing it directly on to the skin surface to insure proper coverage. Do not touch around your eyes after applying! Warning on label also states can damage watch crystals, so I would not handle cameras, sunglasses or phones until removing product from fingers. Caution when applying close to edges of various non-color fast clothing. I experimented using Sportsmen Max on just my arms in a known heavily mosquito populated area of my property, both during daylight and night time hours for several days. I did not incur any mosquito, black fly or No-see-um bites on the areas where Repel was applied. Could not say the same for other parts of my body. I conclude that this item works when used as directed, and offers hours of protection.

Keeps the bugs away. I keep this by the door so me or the rest of the family can spray our legs before going out into the yard. Forgot to use it before cutting the grass, regretted it, and went back in to apply it to finish up the yard. I like the easy to apply pump spray bottle, easy enough I don't worry about the kids using it too. Some bug sprays smell horrible, but this one is easy on the nose.

The insect repellent Repel Sportsman Max is a good product. I am always confident when I use it going on long hikes in the woods. It does a good job of protecting against mosquitoes and just keeping bugs away in general. The 40% Deet is within the doctor recommended range and this percentage will last several hours before having to reapply. All in all this is a good product and allows you to be able to enjoy the outdoors.

I live at a dead end road and we have lots of mosquitoes because of the the trees and shrubs, even when county sprays once a year. I applied Repel Max before I go outside to do yard work or work in my shed, I apply about 5 mins before I go outside, it work really well and so far the 3 times I have used it it’s keeping the mosquitoes. I would recommend this product, it helps keep the mosquitoes at bay for a couple of hours.

I can stay in the woods for several hours, not one tick finds me. And the flying insects are history. I recommend you give it a try.

We have a camp in the Adirondacks and the bugs ... deer flies, black flies, skeeters, midges, noseeums ... can be brutal. It is hard to find insect repellent that actually works these days. What good is bug repellent that is non-toxic if it doesn't repel bugs? Our buying criteria for insect repellent and how Sportsmen Max measures up. #1 must repel bugs - The sportsmen Max works great. Field tested. Enough DEET (40%) to be effective without making you radioactive. Lasts for a couple hours before needing to be reapplied. #2 Don't be greasy. Some repellents can be a greasy mess. The Sportsmen Max goes on easily with no residue. #3 The fragrance can't make you smell like a florist. The Sportsmen Max fragrance is fine. Smells like bug repellent without being overly floral. #4 application should be direct without going everywhere. The pump applicator is great; gets the stuff where you need it without creating a whole cloud bank. The six ounce size fits comfortably in the hand and convenient enough to leave in the truck or carry in the pack. I recommend.
