Arcus Hunting Launches Defend by Dead Down Wind, Built to Protect Your Time Outdoors
Arcus Hunting announces the launch of Defend by Dead Down Wind, a new safety focused insect repellent brand created for anyone who spends time outdoors and wants protection they can trust as insect and tick-borne illnesses continue to rise.
Defend by Dead Down Wind delivers tough, long-lasting protection from mosquitoes, ticks, and biting insects. The scent-free formulas are effective and safe for the whole family, whether deep in the woods, at the campsite, ball field, or relaxing at home.
The lineup includes picaridin repellents for skin and gear and permethrin for treating clothing and equipment. Strong enough for serious outdoor use and gentle enough for everyday wear, Defend helps keep outdoor experiences comfortable and worry free.
“The recent attention around alpha gal syndrome, including the first death linked to it, is a wakeup call,” said Matt Kinamore, Senior Director of New Product Development
