Longsleeve vs Sun and Bug-20 (SPF 30)

Longsleeve is Picaridin. Sun and Bug-20 (SPF 30) is DEET. No protection time is on file with EPA for it, so there is nothing to compare on hours. The biggest difference is the label: Longsleeve names all nine ingredients; Sun and Bug-20 (SPF 30) names only the active.
