HAVEN

HAVEN integrates three modes of insect protection and a built-in light into one device, covering you before, during, and after outdoor exposure.

Before you’re exposed to bugs and insects, HAVEN’s refillable roll-on and scent pods apply and disperse repellent into the surrounding air, creating a passive barrier. The handle lets you hang it from a tent, branch, or gazebo frame, keeping it elevated and effective exactly where you need it.

Once the sun drops, the warm amber light draws you in rather than insects functioning as a usable ambient lantern that earns its place in your kit rather than sitting forgotten at the bottom of a bag.

When bites do happen, HAVEN’s integrated bug bite relief pod delivers fast, soothing relief on contact, closing the loop on full outdoor protection from a single, portable device.

This view contains all the components for HAVEN, including the main body, bayonet locking system, light cover, 3 pods, handle, rubber feet, 2 PCBs, switches, and the LEDs.

All 3 pods are depolyed to protect the user from bugs and insects

The user checks their pod levels ahead of the trip, topping up any that need it before setting off.

The user begins to notice insects rising around the campsite. What started as the odd insect quickly becomes a swarm.

The user deploys HAVEN at the campsite, activating the scent repellent pod to begin establishing a protective area around their space.

As the user moves away from the campsite and out of the protected area, they apply the roll-on repellent directly to their skin to stay covered.

As it gets dark, the user activates HAVEN’s built-in ambient light, using the encoder wheel to dial in exactly the level of brightness they need.

When a bite slips through, the user applies the bug bite relief directly to the affected area, finding fast comfort without having to rummage through a bag for a separate product.

Inside the tent for the night, the user hangs HAVEN overhead using the bail handle the ambient light illuminating the space and making it easy to find what they need.

Come morning, packing down is simple. With HAVEN covering repellent, relief, and lighting in one place, there’s significantly less to think about and far less to carry.
