Re: Help me find an Effective Mozzie/Midge repellant (tried 'Vape'?)

I lived in Scandinavia for 20 years and have had good results with what they call "Myggeolie" (about 20% 'deet'), but the very best I know is 3M's Ultrathon. It's a bit like emulsion paint and lasts for ages, even when you sweat, and keeps the huge Scandinavian mozzies away.

Even that doesn't work when there's a huge cloud of midges. A hat with a broad brim and a headnet is the way to go.
