Muskol. Far and away the best repellent ever. It even keeps the savage blackflies in Canada at bay.
3M's Ultrathon is also good. Not quite as good as Muskol, but if you can't get Muskol, get Ultrathon.
Obviously everyone now knows to keep repellents away from breathable waders, jackets, etc. No need to blather on about this. There is no harm in using DEET based repellents, just don't spray it on Gore-tex.
Everything else is an also-ran as far as I'm concerned. I've tried multiple brands of DEET-free stuff and they are useless unless the mozzie population is less than 10 per square mile in your area. If you want to go deet-free, you might as well invest in the new bug-repellent clothing.

grouse.i'm glad you agree.that the deet formulae have at last proven safe but i've never seen muskol, who makes it, have you tried "ben's 100" melts nylon,but sure keeps the midges at bay. ;D

My wife had Bens from her summers in Scotland. I've never seen it on this side, Jim. We used up the last of her supply years ago. Muskol? www.muskol.com/Grouse |

That the secret of your complexion Paul.
;D
My take on the subject. Have tried more than a few but have settled on Jungle Formula & Autan.
Tell me Shoo is good but I have not tried it.

highlander,autan used to be my repellent of choice but they have taken out the deet,and it is IMVHO rubbish .also if i am using jungle formula ,it has to be expedition strength as the others have no deet,as grouse says,no deet no good.

Muskol? www.muskol.com/Grouse Grouse, Seems that Ben's originated in Maine and, according to the following web page, should be available from Wal-Mart stores: www.ardernhealthcare.com/story.html |

Thats handy to know Jim. I will watch for that if I have to buy a new one. Did not know that. Thanks for info.
Might try that Crocodile one that Berlin used to tout before he "retired"

I've used Jungle formula and Autan at Llyn Brenig and I've still been bitten to pieces  The funny thing is when your out in the water fishing its not to bad but once you come ashore to have a cup of tea the little buggers are waiting for you ;D JAD |
