That sounds good, gdog. I've been using a product called Nopikex. It's like a bar of soap and you rub it all over you after a shower (or wet exposed body parts) and then let it dry on its own. Don't rub it off with a towel. No odor no stickiness after it has dried. I first had this product recommended to me in Panama. Then I couldn't get my hands on any more until Cartagena Colombia, where I stocked up literally! Must have close to a dozen of these little gems now. Of course the last night in Belize, I completely forgot to apply it. I've still got some bumps from the bites I received that evening. As for other products with 25% deet, I agree they only last a certain amount of time. I want my deet to last the whole time I'm out for an evening, which might be 2hours but is more likely to be 4-6. So I'm a 98% deet fan. All that said my new "soap bars" contain a lesser amount of deet than that but works ever so well. Perhaps the product also has some other repellent properties. Dunno.
