btw, what's with the weird brand names in the US?? "Skin so Soft"? "Dirty and Hairy"??
This thread has turned really funny. I am going to try matches this summer and see if the mosquitos veer off and bite my hubby instead.

Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

For the bites, I highly recommend Liquid Benadryl. Applied soon after a bite, you won't have another problem with itch except with the most virulent bite.

I use 3M's Ultrathon repellent. I, too, am a bug magnet and this is the only thing that works. It stinks, but I'd rather stink than be bitten.
It's 34% Deet. It's a different formulation of the Deet so the lower concentration works as well as the 100% Deet used to. It also lasts for a long time.
