ADVNTURE - "KEELA'S CLEVER BLANKET USES INSECT SHIELD TECHNOLOGY".

If you love camping and hiking in tropical climates or regularly brave the Scottish Highlands in summer, you’ll know that biting insects such as mosquitoes and midges can really ruin the fun of outdoor adventures. 

A good tent with a mesh inner lining and the best insect repellent are your first defence, but adding insect-proof
clothing and an insect-repelling camping blanket to your arsenal can also really help. 

Keela’s clever blanket uses Insect Shield Technology, which does what it says on the tin – it’s a built-in insect repellent that we found offered long-lasting protection from mosquitoes, ticks and other bugs that can carry dangerous diseases. 

SCOTTISH FIELD - "I WAS A LITTLE SKEPTICAL... BUT IT DOES SEEM TO KEEP THEM AT BAY".

On our most recent trip to the Cairngorms, one of our party found a tick on their leg after a picnic in the hills. It was swiftly dealt with thanks to a pair of trusty tweezers, but prevention is always better than cure! I was a little skeptical about this insect shield blanket which promises to be effective in repelling pesky (and potentially dangerous) insects like mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, flies and midges, but it does seem to keep them at bay. The 56” x 74” blanket is treated with an active ingredient called permethrin which is tightly bonded to the fabric fibres so that it remains effective for around 25 washes. It is incredibly lightweight and can be worn around the shoulders or used as a picnic blanket. It might not be as comfortable as a standard picnic blanket, but we use it as a layer on top of a thicker throw.
