@h76g2000cwa.googlegroups.com:

For black flies, I tend not to count on any of the repellants. Even
with the repellents, things can get pretty darn miserable. I travel
with a headnet, just in case, and if I knew I was heading into
trouble, I'd pick up one of those bug jackets, and maybe even bring
a lightweight cotton glove or something.

Scott,
Is that just with black flies or all flies, including mosquitoes?
Is there something about bug repellants that you know of that isn't
given in the MSDS data?
Reason for asking I'll be in Alaska the first two weeks of July.
