Smidge Insect Repellent Spray - DEET-Free Midge Protection (75ml)

Smidge Insect Repellent Spray is a DEET-free, 20% Picaridin repellent that keeps midges, mosquitoes, horse flies and ticks off for up to 8 hours. Developed and tested in Scotland against the infamous biting midge, so a summer evening at the crag stays about climbing.

The active ingredient is 20% Picaridin (Saltidin), which gives immediate, long-lasting protection without the harsh feel or smell of traditional repellents. It's water and sweat resistant, so it keeps working when you're pumped and damp on a humid evening, and the formula is alcohol-free, moisturising and non-sticky with a pleasant, subtle fragrance. It's suitable for adults and children aged 2 and over.

The 75ml pump spray is light enough to live permanently in a chalk bag or lid pocket. Apply evenly to exposed skin, reapply after extended exposure or heavy activity, and keep it away from eyes and sensitive areas.
