What makes Ultrathon Insect Repellent different?
Advanced 3M formulation creates an effective barrier that repels mosquitoes that may carry West Nile Virus, and ticks that may carry Lyme Disease.
Time Release Protection | Proven Formula | Splash and Sweat Resistant | Military Tested
Time Release Protection means DEET is slower to evaporate and provides protection after others have dissipated - up to 12 hours of protection against mosquitoes. Ultrathon's Time Release Protection gives the user a balanced mix between concentration of DEET and long lasting protection. Our unique technology provides longer lasting protection with less DEET. Splash and Sweat resistant to ensure consistent protection through all your outdoor activities.
History:
Ultrathon Insect Repellent was initially developed by 3M for the US Military to provide up to 12 hours of protection for their troops. It is still used today. Ultrathon has been tested in the harshest environments in the world – the Central American Jungles. In the mid-1980's, the US Military contacted 3M to develop a better form of protection based on 3M unique Time Release Technology.The resulting product, Ultrathon Lotion, quickly replaced their current DEET product and is still being used today by troops in all areas of the world.

The Ultrathon left me feeling pretty greasy and I needed a lot of it to cover a given area. That wouldn't be so bad but the "up to 12 hours" thing for me meant about ~5 hours. Which is fine unless you're putting it on before sundown and staying out until late in which case on the walk home I'm fresh meat.
In the end the 100% DEET solutions and Permethin clothing sprays are the best.
--- Update 11/2/2013: ----
I also spent the summer down here in the tropics with mosquitoes so thick you can literally stick out your hand in any direction, make a fist, and dead-smeared mozzies will be all over your palm and fingers.
Ultrathon is not magic, and if you're sweating like a pig you will get a couple hours from it tops: there's not a lot of ways for it to adhere to skin that has water constantly pouring off of it. But on the plus side, it tends to bind well with the water so even a quick application on sweaty skin will keep the bastards off of you.
The "12 hour" rating is for some conditions somewhere in the world where you're not sweating, which probably means no mosquitoes, so I still object to that.
But that little squeeze tube goes on easier, lasts longer, and makes much less of a mess than spray on DEET solutions. I'll be sticking with Ultrathon for the rest of my time in the tropics.
At least to mosquitoes. There is something about me that is very attractive to mosquitoes so I need something that will keep them away. Ultrathon is that thing.
I went camping and knew that there would be a lot of mosquitoes there. I did some research on bug repellent and decided to get the Sawyer Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent Trigger Spray for my clothes and the Ultrathon for my delicious skin.
At dusk, the air was full of mosquitoes. The mosquitos were literally bouncing off me; however, I did not see a single mosquito land on me. The next morning, I woke up mosquito bite free!
I did not reapply the Ultrathon the next day even though it says it only protects for 12 hours. The next evening, the mosquitoes were back and even though I had not reapplied the Ultrathon, I only ended up getting two mosquito bites: one on my hand (having had washed my hands) and one on my ankle where I had not put Ultrathon since I was wearing pants and socks the entire day.
I will be using Ultrathon again the next time I am in mosquito country.
