Sports Product Review

Wood cellulose. Arnica extract. Cinnamon. Sweet almond oil and sweet clover leaf extract. If it sounds like these ingredients could all be found along the hiking trail, that’s because they probably can be. In fact, All Terrain (www.allterrainco.com) was started in 1996 when its founder, Todd Hakanson, was hiking in Costa Rica.  A bottle of DEET insect repellent he was carrying in his backpack leaked.  It ate through his backpack and melted the keys on a calculator he was carrying to figure out exchange rates.  Worrying what the DEET was doing to his skin, he began to research the effect of DEET upon his return to the United States.  What he found concerned him so much that he developed an all-natural insect repellent formula. This formula, Herbal Armor Insect Repellent, is a synergistic blend of five essential oils, which is microencapsulated for release over time.

The product line has expanded from its modest clinically tested, DEET-free insect repellent beginning, to now encompass “Natural Remedies for Outdoor Enthusiasts.” All Terrain Recovery Rub is a wonderful amalgam of menthol and other oils and extracts that not only provides a natural “icy-hot” feeling to skin and muscles, but offers a deep cinnamon-menthol fragrance that is sinus-buster. Their Aqua-Sport sunscreen is some of the best we’ve tried and it won’t wash off in the water or with sweat. Soaps and sanitizers, like carbon-free Hand Sanz, first-aid supplies and even products to protect your pet are all made from 100% natural ingredients, right down to packaging that is either recycled, recyclable or biodegradable. If you’re camping, hiking, or just generally outdoors, All Terrain continues to develop, test and introduce great products to help you enjoy nature, naturally.
