Mosquito Repellents

Of course! At Decathlon Greece you will find a specialized collection of mosquito repellents, suitable for camping, hiking, and any outdoor activity. Our collection includes approved and effective formulations in various forms, such as sprays or lotions, which offer strong protection against mosquitoes and midges. All our products are selected to provide maximum skin safety, so you can enjoy your nights in nature without annoying bites.

For camping, where exposure to nature is continuous, you need a strong mosquito repellent. When making your choice, check the active ingredients of the product. Formulations containing DEET, picaridin, or IR3535 are considered the most effective for tropical or forested environments. If you prefer a more natural solution, look for a plant-based repellent with eucalyptus oil, which offers good protection without a strong chemical odor.

Their difference lies in the application method and coverage. Repellent spray is applied directly to the skin or clothing, creating a uniform protective shield over the entire body, and is ideal for intense activity. On the other hand, a repellent patch (sticker) sticks onto clothes, strollers, or the tent and gradually releases essential oils. Patches are excellent for localized protection, for example during sleep, and are a good solution for people with very sensitive skin.

The duration of action depends on the concentration of the active ingredient and environmental conditions. A typical body repellent offers protection from 4 up to 8 hours. Keep in mind that heavy sweating during hiking, humidity, or dipping in the sea reduces the product's effective time. For continuous mosquito protection while camping, we recommend renewing the application according to the instructions on the product packaging.

For infants and children under 2 years old, special care is required. Strong chemical repellents, especially those with a high concentration of DEET, should be avoided at these ages. Opt for a specialized children's repellent with mild plant-based ingredients approved for infants, or use alternative methods. At Decathlon, we recommend combining mild formulations with a tent mosquito net for 100% safe and natural protection without any chemical burden.
