The unit is only £9.25 on amazon at the moment (I got it for £8.36 the other day) and the refil pack is only £5.50 so £14.75 delivered.

And yes the refil pack is a box of 5

incogneto is pretty good it works 90% ish but if you want 100% protection and not have to keep reapplying the expedition 100 is whats required .If i am going somewhere roasting sweating on a long trip where they are really bad the ex 100 is what i use .Never had a bite with this stuff and it lasts all day.Its a pain keep having to reapply you often forget and dont realise till you have been bit .Sometimes use the incogneto locally during the day and then put the proper stuff on when i get my head down for a long kip.Yes it smells horrible but i apply it to a tissue then wipe it on myself and its not to bad .

Proper stuff

incognito IS the proper stuff Im basing that opinion on spending 2 months in the tropical Philippines with zero problems with mozzys
a fishing holiday in Thailand on a mozzy filled lake with zero problems

holidays in Greece ,Spain,France ,Turkey in fact most of Europe with Zero problems
but agreed you do need to re apply it but its not an issue and has always been 100% effective

it is the PROPER STUFF not like that shyte deet that I will never use again

I suffer badly with bites. To the point where sometimes I'd dread going. One of the worst times I think I had about fifty bites from one nights fishing. Gerry recommended Incognito on here a few years back and I thought I'd give it a try. For me anyway it's been a complete game changer. I now rarely get bitten and if I do then it's maybe only an odd one. It's probably been one of the best fishing related things I've ever had recommended to me.

Different things work for different people though Gerry. There is no right or wrong answer. Incognito is ok for me,but I do still get bites. Expedition 100 is better for me. I never, ever get bitten when I use it. Deet is fine as long as you are sensible with it

‘In your opinion' Gerry.
There are folk who live out in these mosquito prevalent regions and are advised to use deet.

Tbh whether it's deet or not, probably it's more a case of those who get bit post application don't reapply when your supposed to or miss exposed areas / don't reapply sufficiently.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
