I recently had a chance to see samples of several insect repellent products from Sawyer, as well as a copy of the book Sawyer Think.
I really enjoyed the fact that I got to read the book too. It gave me a feel for the company's history and values, and I like that the company leadership really believes in the mission of making the world a safer place through preventing insect-borne diseases and providing clean water. While the book is definitely targeted towards other business leaders, showing how to leverage company success to make charitable impacts, it is also interesting for anyone who is curious how companies can make a positive difference.
Insect repellent and bite prevention can be important. Some facts about Sawyer's Permethrin products:
People wearing Permethrin-treated shoes are 73.6× less likely to get tick bites (URI study)
One treatment lasts 6 weeks or 6 washings
Repels/kills ticks (Lyme), mosquitoes (West Nile, Zika) & 55+ insects
Sawyer's products bond to clothing, not skin, providing invisible protection. And although there's a slight oder to the spray itself, it is nearly undetectable when dry, and leaves no residue on skin, which can be appealing for those families who don't like the idea of bug spray sticking around on skin. It's tough enough to be used by the military, effective enough to have research-backed evidence supporting its use, and safer than many conventional bug sprays that rely on skin contact.
Sawyer also makes Picaridin-based products that are safer than DEET, and every bit as effective. It also doesn't harm clothing or gear.
Besides insect repellent, the company makes water filters, slings, insect bite relief, and more - perfect for families who travel and spend a lot of time outdoors.
