I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Works great, recently used on a hike and didn't get any bites. It's not greasy or sticky and lasts a long time. Also held up well despite sweating a lot.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This spray actually smells good, it doesn't have the chemical smell I expected. I also noticed a decrease in the amount of bugs around me almost immediately. I will definitely buy it again.
It stayed on while being active

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The bug repellent worked very good stayed on nearly all day even while I was moving around. The one thing that I didn't like, is that when I sprayed it on, even from a good distance away I still had some bead up on my skin. and I ended up having to rub it in to spread it out. Also it was not as easy to wash off hands after rubbing it in.
Good repellent!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This repellent works well. It's great to have it in the summer when the mosquitoes are out. It is great to have it for any outdoor activities and also provides protection for a good amount of hours. It is non greasy and the smell is not overwhelming.
Great for Active People

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The OFF Sportsmen is an amazing product for those who are active. It is sweat resistant allowing those who are in the sun, or perspiring just due to being active to keep their chances of being bit by insects to a minimum. It dries quickly and without an overpowering smell. This product works well.
No bites and sweat resistant

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Used this over the weekend in Indio, CA, where the weather was almost 100 degrees. Me and my daughter went hiking and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have any bites. For some reason, mosquitos love me. I also liked that we were able to get in the pool, and we were still protected. There was a slight smell but nothing I couldn't handle. The fact that it doesn't stain was a win-win.
Works!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This really helped at keeping the mosquitos away. I am able to spray once and it kept them away the whole night. I will continue to use this in the future!
Works well no matter how profusely I sweat.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. My joy is being out in the sun gardening. However the bugs are a huge issue. I sweat profusely while gardening because it's over 90° everyday. My sweat attracts the mosquitoes plus other bugs. Currently Tampa Florida has a case of dengue fever. I want to protect myself more than ever and keep the mosquitoes away. Sportsmen Active does a very good job of giving me the protection that I need no matter how hard that o sweat. I can garden to my hearts content because I'm no longer swatting at mosquitoes.
Good working

I got this bug spray gifted to me last summer and I haven't ran out since! It works great to keep insects off of me and is also very easy to spray. The only downside is that it smells like chemicals but the smell does wear down after a little. Overall I would recommend this product, it works great!
Great!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. My yard is full of all critters and insects. We loathe going outside. However, even in the heat this stayed on and protected my husband. I'm glad to have found a product that works so well.
Mosquitoes away

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Living in the hot humid weather of Florida we are always needing insect repellent and this one does a good job. It sprays easily and evenly on the skin while keeping skin dry. It does lasts quite a a while but reapplying needs to be done often to keep those pesky mosquitoes away. Overall it's a good repellent and I would buy again.
Works well but greasy feel.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Always a good brand to go with. Worked well during an evening in the South with humidity at its peak. Biggest down side is the greasy feel on your skin.
I didn't get a single bite!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Mosquitos love me. To them I am a snack waiting to be devoured. But I did not get a single bite after using Off! Sportsmen Active. Frankly, it was a miracle! It does have a fairly strong smell, but I am happy to use it (and take a quick shower after) if it means no bites.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. We used this outside while working in the yard. It kept the mosquitoes away and worked well even though we were sweating. It smells like mosquito spray. Not horrible but not perfume like either. I have used this brand for years and it has always worked the best.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I purchased the Off! Sportsmen Active sweat resistant insect repellant and I love it. Not only does it provide hours of protection while I'm outside, but it also smells decent compared to some other brands. The mosquitos don't eat me alive and this product is worth it!
Eliminates mosquitoes

A can that needs to be had so that you don't get bit this summer by those tiny little pesky mosquitoes. A few sprays in the vicinity of your outdoor experience will eliminate them so they don't get you or you can apply it to your body. I'm not a huge fan of the scent but rather the scent than the red itchy bites so I'll take it.
kept bugs away!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I was so excited to try this product as I volunteer at a greenhouse every weekend. I was able to give it a good test and it worked very well! Bottle was a great size for the price and the spray was even and a good mist. I would definitely purchase again once it runs out.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This is a great bug spray! Sprays nicely for an even coat and is great at keeping mosquitos away. The smell is pleasant and not overbearing. Seems to last for a while, even while sweating.
