Insect protection from Recon Company – mosquito protection, tick protection and protection for textiles

Insect protection isn’t about comfort, but about peace of mind, concentration and operational readiness. For over 30 years, we at Recon Company have been selecting our range according to the same rigorous criteria that apply to our development projects for government agencies: practical, durable and suitable for real-world outdoor conditions.

That’s why we stock insect protection for the skin, clothing and sleeping areas. Anyone out in the field, on exercises, travelling or at camp needs protection from mosquitoes, ticks and other pests that can otherwise quickly become a problem.

Mosquito and tick protection for the skin and everyday life

At its core, insect protection is about effective protection for the skin. This includes mosquito repellents, tick repellents, sprays, wipes and compact products for when you’re on the move. It is particularly during the warmer months, in humid regions or during longer periods spent outdoors that you really see whether the protection works.

In our range, you’ll find Care Plus, amongst other brands, with variants containing DEET and Icaridin , as well as those with natural active ingredients. To complement these, there are products such as Insect SOS Gel for after-bite care. This is practical gear for people who aren’t just spending a short time outdoors, but are working or out and about.

Protection for clothing and sleeping areas

If you don’t want to limit yourself to just your skin, opt for insect protection for fabrics and your sleeping area. This includes fabric spray, mosquito nets, camping nets and lightweight solutions for rucksacks, tents or bivouacs. Especially at night, these items can make all the difference to whether you really get a good night’s sleep.

For use in the field, fine-mesh nets and sprays designed for clothing are often the neatest solution. A mosquito net provides protection with minimal effort, and a good fabric spray complements this protection in areas where you don’t want to apply treatment to your skin all the time. It is precisely this combination that often makes all the difference when you’re outdoors.

Practical solutions for travel, camps and the great outdoors

In everyday life, it’s the small, reliable products that count. A compact spray fits in your side pocket, a mosquito-repellent cloth goes in your rucksack, and a tick repellent with clear instructions is quickly to hand. This keeps the system simple, without any unnecessary fuss.

We also stock suitable solutions for your sleeping area or campsite. Lightweight nets and easy-to-carry products are ideal for tours, overseas assignments and longer stays outdoors. If you don’t have to constantly react to insects at night, you’ll sleep better and remain more resilient during the day.

How to choose the right protection

When it comes to insect protection , you should first consider the intended use: skin, clothing, sleeping area, or a combination of these. Next come the active ingredient, duration of protection, pack size and the question of whether the protection is actually sufficient for your environment. You’ll need something different for humid regions than for an evening by the lake.

Common mistakes include protection that’s too weak, incorrect application, and buying a product that’s never actually carried with you. Anyone spending time outdoors should have their protection to hand and not have to search for it when an emergency arises. That’s exactly what this category is designed for.

• For short trips and spontaneous outings, small containers are handy because they take up hardly any space and are immediately to hand.
• If you’re spending longer periods outdoors, you’ll have a much more relaxed time with a combination of skin protection, fabric protection and a mosquito net for your sleeping area.
• A mosquito net is particularly effective at night, when you want to ensure that sleep and recovery aren’t disrupted by insect bites.
• For frequent use, it’s worth keeping things clearly separate: protection for the skin, protection for clothing and a separate solution for your camp or bivouac.

• A government discount for departments and their staff ensures that even large-scale requirements remain cost-effective.
• Field post delivery worldwide, ensuring that equipment and consumables reach the operational area.
• Expert advice from the Recon team, either online or at the Salzgitter store, when the choice of equipment needs to be tailored to the mission.
• ISO 9001-certified processes for procurement and order processing, ensuring orders are handled efficiently and transparently.
